You don't mean to say you're an Ace Attorney naysayer Jim? Still, if you can only play one visual novel, that's definitely the one to play.  That first case is the Jimmest example I can imagine.

I know the Phoenix Wright things are supposed to be good, and it's written by the same guy, so I'm sure they work better than most things I see. Still a bit too "non-interactive" for me.

Also (*ranting intensifies*) Visual Novel? that's the name we're settling on, is it? Different to just books, which we don't see any visual aspect off, instead listening to the sound the ink made across the page.

I vote to rename them "Don't have to use your imagination books"

They've been called Visual Novel's for decades but as someone that's not played Ghost Trick, is it a Visual Novel? As doesn't it have gameplay where you control a dog and moving around?

I'm gonna answer by saying you should just play it and find out.

Port it to Switch, then I will.

It's not a classic VN, there is a lot of puzzle gameplay

Yep, it felt more like a point-and-click to me. The difference is kinda minimal though, in stuff like this and the Ace Attorneys.

I know Ghost Trick is only tenuously a Visual Novel. It's the bits that aren't a Visual Novel that make it worth playing. I'm going all in on this now it seems
