## Resource

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! Dessy returns, and we discuss one of the most influential games of all time, but has never come out in English officially! The Portopia Serial Murder Case is an early adventure game made by Yuji Horii, which combines adventure game mechanics with text adventures and hard-boiled detective stories! The result? A surprising game that seems almost banal and short by today's standards, but had a huge impact on creators like Hideo Kojima, Eiji Aonuma, Shu Takumi, and many, many more. We discuss Portopia '81, Ace Attorney canon fursonas, spending time at the long day factory, and uh... police brutality! A little something for everyone! NEXT TIME: Bonus Episode! Interview with Joey from Armonic, chatting about Detective Instinct: Farewell My Beloved!
