I like this double entendre of \"summons\" being used in multiple senses of the word. My only critique is that there is a lot of down time as you wait between different summons. This could be made more enjoyable by having quicker or more obscured cues for summoning that require the player to pay attention the whole time. Alternatively, the text bubbles could be replaced by illustrations re-enacting the crime of whatever this trial is for. This would add some story, more engagement, and possibly some humor to the mix.\nAgain, overall a great game with a very very clear level of quality, which is no surprise coming from a clearly experienced game dev such as yourself.
