Author's notes included at the bottom of the credits, but should only be read after finishing the case.
Be advised: While QotU is a complete reimagining of Ace Attorney and doesn't directly spoil anything that happens in the games, having knowledge of at least the first game will probably help a lot and there are multiple allusions to the canon timeline. Having knowledge up to Apollo Justice will help, but isn't quite as crucial. Anything other than that is just a nice bonus.
Spoiler : Synopsis :
Two friends stand alone in an abandoned courthouse, wondering where everything went wrong. And yet they know that there's only one path forward for them after everything that's happened. This is the story of Chihiro Ayasato, a former surgeon who disappeared from public life one day and re-emerged as the most trusted confidant of Urami Shikabane, head of Osaka's most prominent yakuza family.

Spoiler : Walkthrough :
Just in case you accidentally clicked this, some buffer images to block spoilers.
General note: Each investigation phase has unique responses for every profile or piece of evidence you're allowed to present. All of which is technically optional.
During the very first "testimony", simply present the Handgun on any statement to continue. Feel free to press all the statements beforehand if you want to see all the dialogue though.
Hospital Room: Exhaust all talk options.
Testimony 2: Press the fourth statement, then select "Something's strange about this". When prompted, present any of the following: the Calling Card, the Shikabane Files, or Sazaemon Koroshiya's profile.
Testimony 3: Press the 8th statement (the one where Yusaku mentions having had extensive injuries). Choose to focus on him getting cut by glass shards. Then on the new statement, present the glass shards (if you selected one of the other options, you can get the choice to switch the statements again by pressing the newly added statements)
Testimony 4: When prompted, present the Shikabane Files Excerpt. Then in the present after that, choose to present the Diagram. During the profile present portion, there are unique responses to every possible selection you make, and I would encourage seeing them all before picking the "right" one. That said, the correct option to proceed is Akane's profile.
A series of linear choices follows. Just keep selecting the options as they appear.
Testimony 5: Present the Autopsy Report on the 8th statement ("His eyes were closed...").
It's recommended that you save at this point.
This final choice leads to one of two endings. I recommend viewing both, in whatever order you decided feels right. Whether you choose "fulfill the promise" or "break the promise", the rest of the case is a simple "exhaust all talk options" type of deal with a lot of optional presents that I'd recommend seeing.
Congratulations on finishing QotU.
