Wayyy too slow paced for what it is, the raunchy sex jokes and cursing feel pretty out of place for a Phoenix Wright tone, and at the end of the day it's really just a single tutorial case for a longer game that never was.
But this is still certainly a novelty nonetheless, even if just for the story behind its creation/existence. It's almost definitely the first explicitly furry visual novel ever made by a good half a decade (Morenatsu, the next obvious candidate, did start production in 2003 as well, but had no prototypes released until 2007 and was never finished), was probably one of the first fangames ever to get DMCA'd for copyright infringement, was lost for like 15 years, and was finally translated into English like 20 years after release. The events that transpired for this to be made and for me to be able to even play it 20 years later are pretty crazy, shame the actual game is kinda boring and one-note. Ah well!
