There's something really appealing about the jarring contrast between Paradise Killer's colorful vaporwave aesthetic and the brutal reality underneath. I really enjoy the cast and the bonkers lore, as well as the way the game encourages you to piece everything together yourself and decide who's guilty. That said, I wish the trial itself was a bit more dynamic - as much as I enjoyed the investigation portion, just running down your list of evidence at the end feels a bit underwhelming, not to mention the general lack of interaction between the other characters. Still absolutely worth the ride (and the credits theme!) - this game really made me sit on the way it tackles corruption and criminal justice.
