I hope it stays interesting to the end, I definitely see already why it has mostly positive ratings.

Ace Attorney style game. I liked the story, characters, visual design, game style, music, views. It was also interesting to enjoy the game in this period of Chinese history, it is not often depicted in video games.

Where in interesting detective game too much politics was added, the blame was on the evil Europeans in relation to the good locals. I am not trying to justify this period of history, as well as the entire European policy towards opium, but it was bit too much for my taste.
