Rate the Ace Attorney case: The Fire Witch (L-2)

Board 8

Nice to see someone else say they didn't expect who the killer was. I didn't know if the game was going to use witch as a gendered term (or actually stick to the witches being the actual killers) so I really didn't see it coming.

Barnham is a delight, both in design and as an actual character. Yesterday I suggested that this game could use one more case to make better use of its magic premise, and honestly, I'd love it for making better use of the main prosecutor too (I'll get back to that in a few days)

The multiple witnesses at once is a great mechanic that I think is used pretty decently in this case. I'm kind of neutral to the designs. I've always liked the Layton style of character designs, but I don't know how well they work combined with the Ace Attorney exaggeration. But if it helped make Kira less obvious, I'm all for it.

Both duos have immediate chemistry with each other. It is so satisfying seeing Layton give Wright counsel. A shame we don't have more of them working together in the courtroom.

Decent case, nothing overwhelmingly good but nothing particularly bad either.
