It would actually appear that the point I saved at yesterday was actually immediately before the final conversation in the game, so technically I completed it then. It took me ages (a couple of months, I think) to finish, but it’s not through lack of interest – more lack of time. I played it for 20 to 30 minutes a night, most nights, for that time. Anyway, the verdict on the game? Excellent. It’s Phoenix Wright only different only the …
Played a bit more of this over the week, and I’m now into the first day’s trial of the fourth (and, I believe, final) case. I’m really hoping for some expansion of the Phoenix Wright/Seven Years Ago backstory here, because being drip-fed tantalising snippits of it is driving me nuts (in a good way!).

And, so sweeten the deal a bit, Play Asia have it up for pre-order for the bargain price of just ¬¨¬£16! Take That!
