MAKOTO WAKAIDO’s Case Files TRILOGY DELUXE Reviews

Just nice, short, bite-sized mystery ADV games. Naturally a lot of people (like myself) came here from Urban Myth Dissolution Center, so if you've played that it's a good yardstick, but if you haven't don't expect the interaction of an Ace Attorney Investigations or Danganronpa-type VN. They are best compared to something like a Christie novel with some gameified elements and that certainly works for me! Just worth checking out if you're a fan of the mystery genre at all, which it obviously draws heavy inspiration from.

This is an enjoyable collection of mysteries!. The gameplay isn't too complex, the pixel art in this game is gorgeous, and you'll be at the edge of your seat figuring out some of the cases' twists and turns. However, the game's core concept - that each case takes about an hour to solve - works against it at times. I would have loved if these were just a little bit longer and more fleshed out.
