- “I already loved the first case, and the second one builds upon the already incredible start: there's some fun new poses added to the old sprites, the new sprites have a lot of polish, the humor is ever-present, and the newest case told its own really interesting self-contained story while also moving along the overarching narrative of Will Jaeger's disappearance.”
- “The story was captivating, the puzzles were challenging, and the characters were unique.”
- “Great writing, interesting characters, notable plot twists, and great animation and sound.”

The gameplay is primarily focused on investigating crime scenes, collecting evidence, and interrogating witnesses, drawing heavy inspiration from the Ace Attorney series while introducing quality-of-life improvements like checklists and advice buttons. Players appreciate the humor and unique sci-fi elements, although some find the mechanics to be simplified and the story somewhat predictable. Overall, the game offers a solid 3-6 hours of engaging and witty gameplay, with well-written dialogue and appealing graphics, despite some minor bugs and translation errors.
- “The general gameplay is very straightforward - you investigate a crime scene, collect evidence, and persuade/interrogate witnesses using the information you gathered.”
- “Gameplay in adventure-basic, livened by the inclusion of interrogation mode which allows you to zero in on inconsistencies in witness testimony and burrow down to the truth, as well as pressure mode, in which you can try to get witnesses to slip up and reveal things they'd otherwise conceal.”
- “Fun mystery that plays off bits and pieces from the Ace Attorney series in really funny ways, while taking its tried and true gameplay and adding a bit of quality of life with it.”
- “I have not played Ace Attorney, but from what I know of it, the gameplay of this game seems to be a watered-down version of that kind of play style.”
- “Story itself is short and quite boring (about 3 hours of gameplay), the game is missing that mystery part (almost everything is obvious from the beginning).”
- “On top of that, the game has some bugs both in the mechanics as well as errors in the English translations.”
