Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 2-2)

We’ve had flashback cases in the series before, but “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” marked the first time an Ace Attorney case took place inside (or close enough to) another case’s chronology. There’s a lot to unpack here as a result … so it’s time for a Deep Dive! I’ll be deconstructing the caseContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro” (Case 2-2)”

It doesn’t really feel like a finale as a result … but it was still lots of fun, so I’m not complaining. I’ll be deconstructing theContinue reading “Great Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story” (Case 1-5)”
