Finished it last year and I really loved it. It's very much a SpikeChunSoft game with its over the top presentation. From memory, it was all voiced.

My only criticism is that a chapter in the middle of the game is a bit weak but it picks back up and sticks the landing.

Dungeon/solving case mechanics seem to get criticism online but I really like the methodical way of eliminating the impossible. Taught me more about crime solving than Phoenix Wright Series.

Recommend to play it blind.
