Pour Judgement Ch.3 (English)

Pour Judgement takes the Trails series characters and drops them into a noir visual novel that’s way more adult than anything Falcom would ever make. You follow Van Arkride, a bottom-tier fixer who gets hired by university student Agnes to investigate some shady stuff happening to her classmates in a corporate-controlled city.

The story jumps between different character perspectives, so you get to see events unfold through Van, Sara, Agnes, and Elaine’s eyes. Even if you’ve never touched a Trails game, the plot stands on its own. Think cyberpunk detective story with familiar faces in unfamiliar situations.

TheBingusCollective clearly knows these characters well enough to put their own spin on them. The writing feels authentic to the source material while being its own thing entirely.
