Alice's Spiritual Judge is a very interesting hybrid of escape room + legal visual novel that is somewhat like a mishmash of the Zero Escape Trilogy and Phoenix Wright Series, which is awesome because I love both games (Zero Escape is my absolute favorite)!!!
In the game, you have to investigate various places, find certain items, talk to people, use items on them, interrogate them, etc. There are so many things to do in a seemingly simple game, so I really appreciate the dynamic and vast variety of elements in the story.
Ok so you play as Alice in this game and converse with various characters that are similar to personas in Alice in Wonderland i.e. Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts, etc. I love it that each character has some kind of development and story behind them, and that they are closely linked to the characters in the fairytale.
Spiritual Judgement is something which is very interesting. It's a very literal translation of what the game is - a legal prosecution of Alice's morality and choices. As you journey in the game, you will need to find out more about Alice's story and make decisions that will help Alice figure the truth.

This game has manga-like graphics, which are kinda understandable given that the team from ESC-APE by SEEC are mostly Japanese. It's also not scary though sometimes the music and sudden vibration gave me small shocks from time to time. The storyline simply makes you sit at the edge of your chair while playing!
So my suggestion would be to play this game in the morning or afternoon on a day where you have no commitments, so that you would not keep thinking about it during your work or study time. There are only 9 chapters and it took me about 2 hours to complete.
