    Played this for an hour last night and its a damn fine adventure game for the DS. Its made by the same people who made Trace Memory/Another Code, so if you liked that, then you'll be right at home here.

    Graphically, it has a great style (think "Take on me" video by Aha). Controls are great (use the stylus to steer your character around the map, while the other screen shows you what you see from an FPS perspective).

    Pros: Great story/style/interface. Clever puzzles.
    Cons: Average music. If you don't like reading, then stay away....

    Worth a look, and its getting great reviews....

    I saw this on Joystiq or Kotaku yesterday. Looks very interesting. I take it you've imported it? Play are saying some time in March for release here, I might get it off Play-Asia... though just checking them there it won't be released until January 25th :confused:

    It's €32 delivered from CDWOW...

    Liking it very much so far, nice visuals and good set up using the DS sideways (like Brain Training).

    Played this last night for a bit..great game but took me a while to get used to holding the Ds sideways like a book :D

    Looks like a decent one alright. Will be picking this up at some point.
    The DS is made for games like this.

    This game needs more exposure!

    Damn EA-buying public...

    Yeah great game, so far im on chapter 3 i think. Lots better than trace memory imo. I actually planned on finishing Pheonix Wright 2 before i started this, but alas, i couldnt resist it.

    Got this from cdwow the other day. Seems quite good and a bit different. But It requires a lot of time to get into. I started it on Monday night and spent an hour on it without even noticing.

    Miles better than Another Code, which I didn't like much. I'm only on chapter 2, but am going away on holidays next month, with some long flights, so thinking of saving it for then.

    Is the music in the ad the same as that in the game? If it is then i'm in! Slow paced thrillers have to have soul damn it! Looks great though. Here's hoping for more point and clickesque games for the ds to come.

    Got it the other day, the graphics are amazing, very Sin City-esque

    I'd give it 8/10

    [i dont like long text conversations, if they were replaced with Audio itd be 10/10]
