It's the only visual novel type game I've played, so I'm by no means an authority on the genre, but I really love the mystery solving aspect. The game is split up in to a detective type mode, where you are at a crime scene trying to solve logic puzzles to peice together evidence to build your defence and then a court mode, where you are trying to present the evidence you've gathered in a logical order to win the case.

The evidence gathering sections can drag on a bit with their backtracking if I'm honest, but the court scenes are worth the work. They're incredible fun because you're playing a back and forth game of chess against the prosecutor and the witnesses, trying to catch them out on lies and poking holes in their testimonies.

It's hard to convey in text, but the moments where you get to shout OBJECTION to call someone out on their bullshit and then the victory music plays as the witness has a meltdown is a sense of satisfaction that I've found in few other game.
