What players say

Players praise the charming art and clear inspiration from Professor Layton and Ace Attorney, but consistently criticize the English translation for errors and puzzles that are sometimes vague or have multiple unintended answers. There is a split on whether the game is worth recommending, with many calling it unpolished and noting a lack of developer updates since launch.
