I really had a game that takes like, 5 hours to beat on my shelf for 2 years lol.
Anyway, Trace Memory/Another Code is the definition of cozy. The environments and music just has this unmistakable vibe to them so that even though it's such a short game, I really don't mind taking my time with the puzzles, which thankfully are never too obtuse or complicated, yet take advantage of the DS's capabilities... for better and for worse. There's definitely too much microphone related bullshit for my liking.
It's no FDC2 or anything, and it seems CiNG's own works would only get better after this, but it's definitely an enjoyable time. Here's to hoping the remake can recapture the magic
