I'd let Noxley taste me EDIT: Ok having finished the game, I have some thoughts. I like the presentation a lot; the art is excellent and I love the soundtrack. I think the first case has the best atmosphere and use of the setting. How the ending frames a certain choice bothers me, but I get what the author was going for. I'd still let Noxley taste me1 found this helpful
Sungazer has done it again. Bravo. I can't believe you can just lick people freely.1 found this helpful
If you're in the mood for an "Ace Attorney"-like detective game, you can't go wrong with [i]Dragon Detective: A Friend from the Shadows[/i]. A cozy art style, interesting world building, well written characters and bopping soundtrack made this a joy to play.1 found this helpful
A great visual novel/mystery game in the spirit of Ace Attorney with some real heft to its world and characters! Highly reccomended to lovers of the genre.
Very nice detective game in the veins of Ace-Attorney. A bit on the easy side, but still very enjoyable.
Great characters, great art, great music, great story. The mystery-solving is also good overall, but I often struggled with the intuition segments. Intuitions would feel like they correctly answer multiple questions. There was a time when one of the intuitions to answer a question was just restating the question. I got S-rank on every case, though, so I can't complain much. At some point I noticed that the fake-pencil-drawing(?) filter on zoomed-in images felt kind of low quality. I would just prefer lower resolution.
