Quotes

• Unlike novels or movies, video games are an interactive medium where the player's actions drive the story forward, so I had actually wanted to allow players to manipulate the evidence themeselves earlier on in the series.
• I'm pretty sure that was inspired by my experience with the original Resident Evil where I examined a book, and a coin - I think it was a coin? - popped out.
• As part of the game's promotion, we also collaborated with the Japanese Ministry of Justice, which was preparing for the official launch of the new system, and gave a presentation of AJ:AA at the ministry's head office.
