Flatfoots and Fools

This week we dive back into the Ace Attorney Series, with the second game Justice for All! Andrew and John are joined by Lynx for a two part discussion on this Mystery Adventure. This mixture of Investigation and courtroom drama keeps pulling from a deep mystery roots while delivering courtroom theatrics that would make Hamilton Burger’s head spin. We talk about the game in general, as well as cases one and two specifically.

Spoiler zone starts at 19:10, and continues to the end of the episode

John and Andrew dive deep into Her Story, what True Crime might look like as a game. From 2015, this game about sorting through interview clips to understand the disappearance of a husband has depth and secrets that we loved digging through. It’s one of the most inspirational games in the detective space, yet it only takes up one session.

Spoiler zone is from 12:00 to 33:12, and I really, really recommend avoiding it if you think you want to play this game.

Today, Andrew and John Follow the Meaning! We tour through this surreal Point and Click, coming away with different feelings, and wondering where the remaining cats were. Afterward we have a more general discussion, so come back after the spoiler zone on this one. It was recorded a bit ago, so the overlap with the New Year discussion was unintentional.

In this Episode, Andrew and John talk about their favorite entry in the Poirot series so far: Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express. Developed by Microids Lyon, this game takes the classic story, puts it in a modern but throwback setting, and adds the ability to play a past case instead of just hearing it described during the story. We have varied feelings on the parts of the game added past the original story.

In this episode, Andrew and John discuss John’s thoughts on The Case of the Golden Idol Base game, and then our thoughts on the DLC’s. We chat about both the Spider of Lanka and the Lemurian Vampire, as well as a bit of thoughts on Case as a whole. We enjoyed this game, and look forward to playing and discussing Color Gray Games’ projects!
