I have not! Tell me!
Oh good, okay so
The plot and story is fantastic, (just look up the plot summary on TV tropes or something) it's really dramatic and thrilling while having like almost no action, just emotions conveyed through really good characters. Most of the game just has you dig into certain characters backstories as a side story to the protag's, and all of them are interesting and worth going through.
The gameplay does a lot of neat innovations with the DS, like touching two parts of the screen, closing the DS, and tilting the DS. A lot of the puzzles are clever and some of them have to do with interrogating characters Ace Attorney style.
All the characters are rendered in black and white, hand drawn animations and a huge chunk of the game's budget went into just drawing those animations.
It also has one of the most memorable endings/final chapter(s) that I've ever experienced in any video game I've played. Overall it's probably one of the most clever and innovative adventure games I've played, which is unfortunate given that Cing is bankrupt, but you could probably find it somewhere for like ten bucks. I really recommend it.
EDIT: ALSO, semi-related because it's on my mind: If you've never played Ghost Trick and really like adventure games, you REALLY SHOULD play it.
