Just picked this up today, and I can only say one thing...If you have any love for point-and-clicks, do yourself a favor and buy it! It's cute, it's fun, it's funny! I've played through the first case (of four total, not including the numerous "bonus quests" you can play) and I enjoyed every second of it!

I expect posts of many people talking about how awesome this game is by tomorrow night! OR ELSE!

This came out? Already? o_0

Dammit, what's with the DS rush? I haven't even gotten far in Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March Of The Minis, only finished Star Fox Command once, recently finished Mega Man ZX and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, briefly started Children Of Mana and Magical Starsign, am partway through Contact, and was looking forward to CastleVania: Portrait Of Ruin and maybe Scurge: Hive. And now this? Where were these games in the first few months of the DS after I was bored with Super Mario 64 DS two years ago? >_<

*sigh*

I love point-and-click adventure games. I heard this game only has one save slot, which sucks (I share games with my brother). And that there's not much music...or was it sound? Still, the main character is cute, in a creepy detective kind of way.

Does the story become strangely intertwined and kind of epic like in Phoenix Wright, or is it just a few disconnected cases?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2 on:** October 26, 2006, 07:09:34 PM »

There are a few instances of silence (no BGM, not sound effects) in the game, but nothing that really bothered me...

And I'll have to get back to you on any possible connection between the cases...

I've heard that some of the puzzles use really dumb logic to solve them...

I don't care. I'm getting it anyways. It already looks more interesting than Trace Memory.

IGN gave this a really poor score...then again, most of us think IGN sucks.

A friend of mine is really looking forward to the game, saying that it reminds him of "The Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy" with a gothic look to it. While another friend of mine is too freaked out by the style in order to give it a try.

I'll wait for some more reviews. In the meantime, is the game as twisted as the artwork suggests?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #5 on:** October 27, 2006, 04:11:34 AM »

"Dumb logic"? Just like a lot of great adventure games? Look at Monkey Island! Complaining about "dumb logic" in an adventure game is like complaining there are too many Goombas in a Mario game...

And yes the game is twisted in a weird and cute way, not a sick way...

I want to pick this game up today.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #7 on:** October 27, 2006, 09:32:58 AM »

I preordered from gamestop back in july. I just checked and they have my order status as back ordered. that doesn't mean sqaut to me, because they take forever to send me email that it has shipped, or to update the status in my account too. I have no idea when I will get it. I know not today.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** October 27, 2006, 07:29:04 PM »

Rats, my friday evening got destroyed. I will see if I can get it tomorrow.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #9 on:** October 27, 2006, 10:57:15 PM »

I wish this was getting released here. ;__;

ShyGuy · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2006, 01:05:40 PM »

I went to Target, Best Buy, and three (3!) Gamestops. None of them had the game. Where did you get it, Bill?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2006, 01:41:07 PM »

I preordered mine at Game Crazy a month back, and I'm glad I did...My copy was the only copy the store got in, and I haven't seen it ANYWHERE...

Go Atlus! >=|

ShyGuy · « **Reply #12 on:** October 28, 2006, 04:26:05 PM »

Crap. If anyone sees this game, hide it behind a copy of Ping Pals and let me know. Maybe we can make an shipping and exchange deal

vudu · « **Reply #13 on:** October 30, 2006, 08:28:35 AM »

Amazon.com has it for $30 w/ free shipping (and no tax).

And it's in-stock, to boot.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2006, 11:27:40 AM »

Oooooh, thanks Vudu. I'll stop saying bad things about you for a whole week!

Ceric · « **Reply #15 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:30:07 PM »

You'll never see it... Its an Atlus game... You want it it will only be a limited run... *grumble*Cubivore... Game with Walking Toast and Hand Holding that better be remade for the Wii because I was looking forward to is.*grumble*

Smoke39 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:34:04 PM »

What? What game had walking toast? O:

Ceric · « **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:36:32 PM »

I can't remember it's name I'll try to dig it up...

Edit: Found it! It's name is Homeland.

Toast!

capamerica · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:41:42 PM »

I'm going to have to look into getting it.
I thought it looked pretty cool and I'm a fan of the old school point-and-clicks games so if it plays like that I'm all set.

I hope this doesn't turn into a ultra rare game. I need to wait another week before I have money to pick it up. =(

Does your local indy gamestore ship? Can I buy there by mail-order?

I finally tracked it down. This should keep me occupied while I wait in line for the Wii next Saturday.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2006, 11:44:04 PM »

I just got this and a couple other games for my birthday recently. I love Mackenzie's thought bubbles on the top screen. XD

wandering · « **Reply #24 on:** November 30, 2006, 07:28:56 PM »

So, I'm considering purchasing this for an eleven year old who wishes "people made detective games", and is getting a DS Lite for Christmas (perfect or what?) But I've heard it has some "risque humor." For those who've played it, how bad is it on that score? No worse than Phoenix Wright, I hope?
