Daemon Masquerade
I was able to check out the demo for this game, and it’s such an interesting way to tell a story, especially with the use of comic panels. The humour is spot-on, and the fact that you can write your thoughts on the evidence is great! The inspiration from Ace Attorney is clear as day. It’s going to be so much fun jumping into Daemon Masquerade!
