You are MacKenzie, a young detective-in-training looking to establish herself. She is curt and introverted, her inner monologue ever-present on the top screen, contrasting well to the oblivious and audacious supporting cast.

The star of Touch Detective is the cutesy, decidedly feminine neo-gothic setting. It’s one of ornate dress shops, lush desserts, vampire butlers, anthropomorphized animals, ghoulish zombie people, dream worlds, and snow fairies - and it’s all played completely straight.

Though it takes obvious structural cues from Ace Attorney and suffers from the aimlessness commonly associated with its genre, Touch Detective is a fresh, charming point-and-click adventure worthy of attention.
