Case 3 complete! Well, 'complete' isn't the right word. I was wrong to think the game was heading to a more typical end with Fairplay and Furst being the culprits, instead it certainly looks like our client was responsible... but he gets a Not Guilty verdict and the case abruptly ends without us learning what really happened. A bold play, for sure!

I like anything that mixes up the usual AA procedure so I'm on board with this, and I assume the facts will come to light eventually anyway. Both court cases we've been in now have ended with the perpetrator getting away with their crime in some fashion, what a cool arching theme for the game. McGilded being our client is a great way of introducing an ongoing antagonist, if that's what he winds up being, and van Zieks definitely takes a turn towards being interesting with his dignified resignation to reality at the end. As with the whole game so far, we are well out of our depth and there is unending corruption and backdoor dealings going on far beyond what we can see.

I'm guessing events transpired roughly how they were originally alleged- McGilded killed the dude and was confident he could use his immense power to get away with it. Gina was presumably hired by him. Thinking like that, I guess a lot of the case developments were empty/false, but I dunno I'm far more interested in all this evidence fraud and corruption than if this had been a standalone case with the other passengers having framed our guy. McGilded is an entertaining character as a bad guy. FWIW I picked the honesty options always. I doubt things would've gone much differently if I'd lied to protect him, as he's pretty chummy with us after the trial is through regardless.

On the little girl with the gun who showed up at the end, I've seen her on the game's art next to Sholmes and assume she's his Watson (or Wilson, as it were). Hopefully that's not a spoiler for me!

The omnibus has been burned now, and Magnus is as free as he ever was. I don't know what the next case will bring or if it'll be a direct continuation from here, but I'm thinking its murderer will leave with a smile on their face. I think I see what people's reservations are with this game now, if it's all set-up and we'll have to wait for the sequel to bring all the resolution its subtitle implies. But I'm having a great time!
