Ace Attorney, otherwise known as Gyakuten Saiban in Japan is a lawyer simulator, that’s actually a detective adventure game, that’s actually a mystery themed visual novel. You are a lawyer that has to defend (or in some cases, prosecute) a client by going to crime scenes, collecting evidence, questioning witnesses and producing contradictions in their testimonies.
It’s a bit of an understantement to just call this a visual novel, because it really does not do justice to the most colorful cast of characters and a very inventive plot. It’s one of my own personal favorite games, and a lot of my early Kahi persona was inspired by the characters and stories within.
…can’t say I agree with playing those. I haven’t come across one that’s been able to keep the cast in character with much frequency, and a good selection of them have some…very twisted logic as well.
