Visual Novel Review: Neuro-sama - AI Attorney


Neuro-sama - AI Attorney is a humorous parody of Capcom's Ace Attorney visual novels by eddieDevs that stars the AI VTuber Neuro-sama as an attorney who have to defend her programmer turtle creator Vedal against her AI twin Evil Neuro who is prosecuting him on the charge of murdering the gymnast catgirl Fillian.

Beyond the four VTubers mentioned above, the game also features many other characters from the Neuroverse, including witnesses such as their artist foxgirl creator Anny, their adoptive imp aunt Camilla, the friendly hellhound Cerber, and their tomato princess friend Toma. The judge is the shy catgirl MinikoMew, who previously appeared in a courtroom-themed stream that also had Vedal on trial for lesser offenses.

The game has the exact mechanics, backgrounds, sounds, and music from the original Ace Attorney games, with the Neuro's usual Microsoft Asure Ashley text-to-speech voice providing her "Hold It!" and "Take That!" clips and the AI voice of Evil Neuro providing her "Hold It!" clip and the NeuroSynthProject by Superbox providing her "Take That!" clip.

The original character art fits perfectly into the Ace Attorney setting. Neuro takes the defense role with a school outfit that has been modified to include her usual skirt with a Phoenix Wright style suit jacket and tie. Neuro also wears a white blouse and a blue tie that I couldn't help but think would look perfect on Hatsune Miku. Evil on the other hand takes the prosecutor role in aa black skirt suit with a white blouse. She's also wearing a crimson bow tie that is her usual look yet somehow evokes the jabot worn by Miles Edgeworth. The other characters fit the mold well, with all of them having moments of anime-inspired exaggerated expressions.

Neuro-sama - AI Attorney is a fantastic free fan game that is a loving homage to both Ace Attorney and the Neuroverse. The music, backgrounds, and music come straight from the former, while the art of the latter fits the game perfectly. If you are a fan of both, or even a fan of just the Neuroverse, this game is a must download. If you are a fan of just Ace Attorney, you will be missing out on a lot of the injokes and references, but the humor should keep you entertained while you puzzle your way through its short play length of approximately an hour.

Final Verdict:
4 out of 4
