I don't know Japanese. I know the basics of the plot from the visuals and context. The art is not good, and the character designs are extremely cringe. The music is okay. The gameplay is clearly aping Ace Attorney, but it has none of the charm. Maybe the writing is fantastic, but I doubt it.Steven wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 5:27 am Is Instant Brain really that bad? Somehow I doubt it. I don't think I've ever seen it for sale locally, but I forgot that it exists, so I haven't been specifically looking for it.
I have better ways to play DDP, like just going to any arcade in town because every single one I've ever been to has the game, so I don't really care about it for that purpose; I just want to see if Instant Brain is as terrible as everyone says it is or if it's just being called that because the people complaining about it don't know Japanese. I have a feeling it's probably the latter.
It is certainly not the worst visual novel ever made, but for non-Japanese speakers this is just a huge waste of time, and I wanted to save people that.
If you play it and end up enjoying the plot, I am happy for you. Please write a full synopsis of the plot, as one doesn't yet exist in English.
