Gyakuten Saiban (Japan) (Rev 1)

Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) is an adventure game focused on solving criminal cases through investigation and courtroom trials. The game unfolds in chapters, each representing a new case. The player takes on the role of Phoenix Wright, a young and enthusiastic lawyer. The gameplay revolves around three main parts:

1. Investigation: Players are free to explore the crime scene, talk to witnesses, and gather evidence. This is a crucial stage to gather information, uncover inconsistencies in witness testimonies, and find important clues. Interaction with the environment and characters is done through dialogues and action choices.

2. Interrogation: After gathering sufficient evidence, players enter the witness interrogation phase in court. This is the core of the gameplay, requiring players to ask sharp questions, find contradictions, and force criminals to confess. Players use collected evidence to refute false witness statements. The “Present Evidence” system allows players to choose appropriate evidence to counter testimonies, creating tense and dramatic confrontations.

3. Argument: In this phase, players present their arguments before the judge and jury. Players must use collected evidence and testimonies to build a strong case, convincing the court of their client's innocence. This part requires players to have logical thinking skills and good articulation.

The game features simple but effective 2D graphics, lively and engaging music. The game system is easy to learn but requires players to use logic and subtlety to solve complex cases. Each case has unexpected twists and surprises, keeping players engaged until the very end.
