Pros
Pro Polished writing with a great sense of humor that should amuse just about anyone
Both the comedic writing and delivery are top notch. Not only that, the gameplay elements reinforce the absurdity of the presentation - "Credibility" instead of HP, moves like Swagger or Epic Speech and "pimping" your apartment for stat boosts.
Pro Unique turn-based gameplay that offers a rarely seen look into an imaginary world of lawyers
You take turns choosing from a select set of skills, such as Mesmerize, Ego boost, Tamper with Evidence, etc to get rid of witnesses, evidence, and prosecutors. This makes for a unique twist on turn-based gameplay, setting the skills in the lawyer world of showmanship.
Pro Interestingly uses mind bending architecture in the gameplay
Players must figure out how to traverse the architecture in order to get items they need to use to help guide the the main character, who is sleepwalking. It is through this mind bending architecture that the core of the gameplay lies as each level is a puzzle in and of itself to figure out how to gain all the items needed, which is only half the gameplay as once that is figured out they then need to guide the sleepwalker to their goal.
Pro Excellent sound design
From its background music to its voice work, the sound design of The Room Two not only fits with the theme but adds to the player's immersion in the game and overall experience.
Pro Surreal graphics
The graphics of Back to Bed are very surreal, as if Dahli and Escher had teamed up to design a game.
Cons
Con Short game
Devil's Attorney is a pretty short game as it can be beaten in 4 hours or less, making for a game that may not last more than one playthrough.
Con Should be free on Android
Con Puzzles could be deeper
With such an amazing graphic design, the level of depth to the puzzles feels almost disappointing.
