so, long-delated AA6 update! I finally finished 6-3.

initial thoughts: wow, what a sad case that turned out to be. other than 3-4, is there a more tragic case in the series? I guess any others with genuinely accidental murders are also up there, but this one felt particularly sad. the case also felt particularly desperate, which kind of worked both for and against it. I was only genuinely stuck once or twice, and things definitely came together towards the end, but there were lots of trial sections here where I genuinely had no idea what I was working towards and was just trying to survive. that may have been an intentional representation of the biased and alien Khura'in system, but I felt similarly in 6-2 and that had no such excuse. I don't remember feeling quite so lost in earlier games, which might be a measure of their increasing complexity or simply my fading gaming skills.

outside of that, though, this had a really strong cast of characters, a cool setting, strong narrative, interesting twists, and a powerhouse ending. the suicidal cover-up was a bit absurd, but it certainly framed the case in a very powerful light. there can't be too many better mid-game cases than this one. game's certainly shaping up strong so far!

updated approximate case ranking:

perfect: 3-5 > 2-4 > 1-4
great: 1-5 > 3-4 > 5-4/5 > 3-3 > 6-3 > 3-2 > 4-4 > 5-3 > 1-3
good: 6-2 > 2-2 > 4-1 > 5-2
mediocre: 3-1 > 2-3 > 4-2 > 1-2 > 6-1 > 5-1 > 2-1 > 1-1 > 4-3
