nah

This game is interesting, but i cant recommend it, at least not in its current form,
The hints are more annoying than they are useful. Most of the time the hints will just tell u to look at something, and that's it. Asking for more hints on that, will repeat the same thing, telling you to look carefully.
Just add the ability to give a more specific hint. Your only options most of the time is "Hey look here" or "here's the whole puzzle answer".

Copying and pasting text is tedious, I'm glad the mechanic exists but a lot of the times, it will miss the first letter, or just not copy more than one character.

Couldn't get past Case 5's End case, as i couldn't get any combination for "How did you identify Song Jianye's Murderer" working. Please if you are gonna take multiple options for the end case screen and u ask for hints, Tell the player what part is wrong rather than than saying all 3 are wrong.

Lastly, Looking though steam discussions i saw some talk about the game deciding to run an "desktop Sphinx program" near the end of the game? i never experienced this as i couldn't complete case 5 HOWEVER if i knew this was the case i would never have bought this game. I hate this greatly as a programmer as this is a game and should stay contained as a game.
Their has been many cases of games doing malicious actions being a users back on steam and its hard to trust a company that says "This program is part of the game, not downloaded secretly, and this program is not a virus, there is no virus behaviour", This is in their pinned discussion. This isn't OK and would be an instant refund if the game didn't intentionally keep that "feature" hidden until the end.

I really enjoy the gameplay, the graphics and how it plays, however it feels like theirs too many useless collectables and the game completely flops the ending, well "ending".

Their is no canon ending, its just whatever you decide at the end, with no validation that you got anything right. This is even emphasised with the Achievement "Accelerated Justice: Speedrun the game and complete it in under 10 minutes".

I think you should try out this game if you are interested however, you shouldn't expect a satisfying ending unlike games such as Phoenix Wright or Danganronpa series.

New item level system is stupidly grindy, T1 Items are not fun to use and very unreliable, e.g. you shouldn't need to be level 20 just to upgrade the EMF reader, the old system for progression was a lot better.

Skip this game, its not worth it

Still trash in 2022

Dead game, Full of Bots and Table speed is way too slow.

This Game is heavily rigged, and even if that didn't put you off, the game does not follow basic poker rules, such as the game does not use or use kicker cards. So two of the same pair is equal.

Update on 16th April 2023: Game is even more rigged as it used to be due to adding extra minigames such as blackjack where its pretty obviously rigged.

While a cool concept, this is poorly executed, and its usually easier and simpler to complete a chamber the unintended way.

The Controls are utterly gay, I've played knockoff games that run better than this POS.
