From the minutiae of mechanics and the problem-solving flow, up to the grander plot about overambition paving the way to hell – am I the only one who can't escape the thought that this used to be a Shun Akiyama game, that somehow mid-production turned into a detective-lawyer thriller? Nonetheless, it's a Takayuki Yagami game, and it's almost brilliant. Wish it trusted players to figure out large mysteries by themselves and detective activities in general were better fleshed out, but this has to be the finest constructed crime stories in the medium, and the ways side activities turn into personal stories is just neat as usual. You just can rely on RGG to not miss.
