Samuel Prince Attorney at Law Chapter 1

Having finished the first chapter after coming here from a promising recommendation on the Ace Attorney subreddit. I must say I greatly enjoyed. As a huge fan of the Ace Attorney franchise itself, this game did a wonderful job of imitating the courtroom style of gameplay. The trial segment was well thought out and the testimonies were clear and made sense, with the plot flowing well- which when writing an intricate and detailed murder plot and making sure the culprit isn't caught too easily, is very impressive and definitely worthy of praise. The OST was solid and I have no complaints regarding that, while the VA (for the objections, etc.) were fine. My main criticism is of the "OBJECTION" of the protagonist himself which could've been a bit more energetic, as I found myself to rather like Victoire's "objection" and "Enough!" which I found fit him very well. The artstyle/character design is an interesting point. In my opinion I think it's quite cute and I personally liked the designs of all, but notably Maxine & Victoire. Plus it doesn't take away from the story very much at all, which for me makes it almost a non-issue, the only point in which I have issue is in the "brea…

"Samuel Prince Attorney at Law Chapter 1" isn't a game. It looks like an e-book dumped on Steam masquerading as a game, but it's not that either! This is an advert! This is just the "try before you buy" intro to some cringe fan-fiction, and the "author" expects you to pay money for the rest... imagine paying money for someone's high school anime club dropout fan-fiction. Ugh. This is never okay. There is no gameplay here because this is just an advert for a garbage high school anime club dropout fan-fiction e-book. It's full of cringey dialogue and amateur writing that would be rejected by any actual book publisher... leaving the "author" of this garbage to shove it onto Steam Direct. Here is the link to the actual demo publishing process that this author ignored to exploit the Steam store: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos Samuel Prince Attorney at Law, the book series this is advertising, is only available as a couple of extra chapters you have to buy for a whopping $5 each... yeah, don't laugh, the author thinks each chapter of this badly written, cringey dribble is worth $5. Is it possible for delusions of grandeur to be a clinically severe condit…

r/aceattorney sent me. this is actually surprisingly good. despite the (admittedly quite charming) art, i got surprisingly invested. one criticism i have is the one part at the end where the text goes really slow. i think it's excessive, but apart from that, i recommend it. seriously it's good

Samuel Prince Attorney at Law Chapter 1 introduces a courtroom mystery built around investigation, evidence gathering, witness testimony, and logical deduction. Developed and published by White Tophat, the game follows Samuel Prince, a newly qualified lawyer whose early career immediately places him in a difficult situation. His first major case involves defending a college student accused of murdering her best friend. It is an effective premise for an introductory chapter because the personal nature of the crime creates meaningful stakes while giving Samuel plenty of opportunities to demonstrate his abilities as an investigator and attorney. The gameplay follows a familiar but effective rhythm of investigating first and arguing the case afterward. Crime scenes contain information and evidence that can eventually become important in court, so exploration is more than a transitional activity between dialogue sequences. Paying attention to small details is worthwhile because something that initially appears insignificant can later reveal a major problem with a witness statement. This makes the investigative portions feel connected to the courtroom proceedings rather than functioning…

Samuel Prince Attorney at Law Chapter 1 is a fun little courtroom mystery that I found easy to get into. I play as Samuel Prince, a brand new lawyer making his debut while defending a young college student accused of killing her best friend. The basic setup immediately gave me that classic courtroom mystery feeling, with the story moving between investigating the crime and trying to prove what really happened in court. I liked that the game gives me a clear mystery to solve without making the opening unnecessarily complicated. The investigation sections are probably my favourite part outside of the courtroom. I get to examine the crime scene and look for evidence that could become important later. I enjoyed having to pay attention to the details because something that initially seems unimportant can become useful once the testimony starts contradicting itself. It gives the investigation a good purpose rather than making it feel like a separate activity that I have to complete before reaching the interesting part. The courtroom sections are where the game really comes into its own for me. I have to listen carefully to witness testimony and then present the correct piece of evidenc…

Just finished chapter 1. I'm a big Ace Attorney fan and this game is...basically an Ace Attorney clone. Not that that's such a bad thing. Though it definitely seemed to lack polish in certain areas. My main two complaints are that, first, the text regularly cuts off, continuing onto an invisible fourth line, so I was unable to read them in full. It didn't break the game as it was usually only one or two words, but it was frequent enough to be noticeable. And second, I got a guilty verdict during the final cross-examination, and the game autosaved just before, so I had to start the entire case over from the beginning (since there's actually a hidden pause menu to save the game I didn't know about; you have to press Esc), and there's no real option to speed up text. Even the "much faster" option isn't really noticeably faster than "normal". Some of the puzzles also seemed a bit too simple and obvious. Some glaring contradictions weren't addressed at all until significantly after I noticed them. The story seems pretty interesting, though. I may buy chapter 2 and continue playing; there certainly seem to be worse ways to spend five bucks. And hey, chapter 1 is free, and it's more than…
