Thank you a lot for such a nice review!
I've never played an Ace Attorney game though I know and love some tracks, so it's not a conscious inspiration at least. I'm curious what made you think about that !
It was a bit of a stretch but Ocean of Fear brought up some forgotten memories of a game, I felt a familiarity that I couldn't quite remember for a second while listening to it. I later found out it sounded slightly like "Court begins" from Ace Attorney:Dual Destinies due to the similar 4 strong note pattern in the strings, it was a slight similarity but I couldn't help but feel reminded of the track!
