Name: Shu Takumi's Underrated Gem
Item: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Rating: 8.2
Author: Feliciano Mondigo III

From my previous reviews, I mentioned how much I recently got into visual novels, notably Shu Takumi's Ace Attorney games. This interest got me to try his other work: Ghost Trick. A lot of Ace Attorney fans recommend this title as it shares the same gripping narrative that the series has, as well as its memorable cast of characters.

All of that was true. Well, according to my experience. Each episode has its own set of surprises, and the gimmick of manipulating objects around you and rewinding someone's death makes it better. In a span of 24 hours in-game, it slowly opens up into an emotional story that hinges on themes of death and life. Too cheesy, yeah, but that's Shu Takumi for you.
