Case 1: The Poisonous Turnabout

Spoiler : :

Athena's first case without an attorney as counsel. Edgar Ineer, an engineer working for High Manufacturing and Computing Parts or HMaC Parts for short, the biggest company of electronic parts in Japanifornia, has been accused of murdering his co-worker Alice Berna via poison, with his fingerprints on the container. This is certantly not good for your case, but you've got Trucy on your side so this should go well.

Case 2: Turnabout Celebrity

Spoiler : :

On Matthew Jackson's mansion, one of his guards is found dead, and the alledged killer is another guard of him. But who is Matthew Jackson? Matthew was a normal dude, just like you and me. He had a family he loved, he had friends he loved, and he was studying in a good university. Until one day, when he was heading home, his life changes forever. When he's walking in the street with his headphones, he gets too distracted and gets run over by a car, heavily wounding him. When he wakes up, he's in the same location, but 100 years in the past. That's right! He time traveled 100 years in the past. And the craziest thing of all, is that he gained immortality. To this day nor he nor anyone knows how he time traveled and gained immortality by just getting run over. Since his arrival, he grew famous across the world and gain multiple nicknames, the most famous of all being 'The immortal human being'. In 1979 he started his carrer of defense attorney at the Themis Legal Academy, and 4 years later he graduated. In 20 years he became one the best defense attorneys in the world, solving multiple murders and taking down lots of corrupt people. But then, one day everything changed, when he took a case and lost. His loss was so big and devastating to him that he quit his job and layed low for 25 long years, until now. Athena sees this one-of-a-kind deal and she takes it without thinking, because the amount of fame and money the Wright Anything Agency will get if she wins will be huge.

Case 3: Turnabout Halloween

Spoiler : :

It's Halloween! Nothing can go wrong on the spookiest day of the year, right? Well sadly yes. A kidnap occurs in a party club, and the kidnappers demand 4 million Dollars and the CEO to admit all of their wrongdoings of the company to release Idnap, the son of the vicepresident of HMaC Parts, or else he will be killed. After 10 hours of negotiations, police come to the place where Idnap is held hostage, and after some fire exchange, both the kidnappers and Idnap die. Police investigate and suspect that his girlfriend Caroline Haroldson, could be the mastermind behind the kidnapping, due to her having a grudge against HMC Parts, and Idnap cheating on her. So it's Athena's turn to save her and demostrate who the real mastermind is.

Case 4: The Legends of the Turnabout

Spoiler : :

We go back in time 25 years ago, where you take the place of Matthew Jackson, a defense attorney with 20 years of experience. Your client and friend, Noah Harrison, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Not a big deal, you've dealt with harder cases before, but what IS a big deal, is that the prosecutor will be none other than Manfred von Karma, a prosecutor who in his 27 years of experience, hasn't lost a single case. This battle will for sure be legendary.

Case 5: Turnabout on Thin Ice

Spoiler : :

To celebrate Matthew's 123th birthday, he orchestrates a party in his mansion and invites a lot of people, including the whole Agency, plus Maya, Pearl and more. But then, when nobory is expecting it, a gunshot is heard outside. It's Matthew holding a pistol, with detective Gumshoe on the floor recently shot, with ballistic markings perfectly matching Matthew's gun. There's no doubt about it: Matthew shot detective Gumshoe... or did he? Can Athena save Matthew from this seemingly impossible case to prove innocent, or is this too much for her? Is she up to such monumental task? What contradictions and conspiracies lie under this case?

Final case: Turnabout for Mankind

Spoiler : :

A murder, a defendant, a conspiracy and a culprit. That's all you need to know... for now.

Extra case 1: The Legends of the Turnabout Alternate

Spoiler : :

In the canon, Matthew loses to von Karma. But what if the opposite happens?

Extra case 2: The Time Travel

Spoiler : :

A side story about Matthew before the time travel.

Disclaimer: the synopsis for all 8 cases could change over time depending on my needs so check from time to time. Secondly this project is not affiliated with Capcom in any way. It is made by a fan, for the fans.

sounds interesting, looking forward to it.

I have good faith in this game. Sadly it'll have to wait a long time before starting the development, because rn The Contempt of Court HD is on high priority.
