Together with its entertaining puzzles and smooth animations, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective was a charismatic approach to the mystery visual novel genre that was able to differentiate itself from Ace Attorney games. As players advance deeper into the story, the mystery becomes gradually more compelling thanks to its gripping storyline. Though time travel isn't a unique concept by any means, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is able to continually subvert player expectations while managing to wrap up the plot in a satisfying way.
Much of the charm of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective stemmed from its eccentric narrative and the unexpected twists it employs.
Though the basic concept of the gameplay mechanics are fairly simple, the puzzles could be quite difficult. In Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, players control an amnesiac ghost named Sissel who can use a variety of abilities called "Ghost Tricks" to interact with the environment around him. Sissel is also able to possess corpses and travel back in time before their deaths, using Ghost Tricks to try and save the person.

Though Takumi is known for the Ace Attorney series, he also conceptualized a similar game titled Ghost Trick: Phantom Detectiveback in 2010. Directed by Shu Takumi, the Ace Attorney series pioneered the mystery visual novel genre and helped popularize visual novels in general in the West. Capcom's E3 2021 was full of exciting announcements, but one of the biggest was The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, which is a compilation that localizes two games previously exclusive to Japan.
