I'm glad I went through Ace Attorney Investigations 1 again.
It's not my favorite game in the franchise and my overall opinion on it hasn't changed but it does give you these classic AA logic moments and does have one of my favorite twists in the series even if it's not quite how I remembered it.

And here comes the new point-and-click project I'm working on. Do you like Speculative Evolution or a similar world-building project based on alien life? Do you like a game where information about the world plays a significant role in the puzzle clue? This might interest you.

Artis Impact is one of my favorite games of 2025 so I figured I'd make a quick dedicated End of the Year video.
Developed by Mas and published by Feuxon, play as Akane and Bot as they investigate potential AI threats. Here's my review if you're interested in more game details:

It's been forever since I've played the original version of Ace Attorney Investigations, but I'm finally going through the collection and it was nice seeing this small pack of references, something I never noticed (and probably wouldn't have been able to notice) on my first playthrough on the DS.
