Shin Gyakuten Touhou is a visual novel & adventure style game based on the Gyakuten Saiban/Ace Attorney series. The player assumes the role of Aya Shameimaru as a defense attorney as she proves her clients not guilty using investigation, evidence, and cross-examination. Shin Gyakuten Touhou is the completion of the original game (Comiket 74, 2008) with three primary cases and an extra trial where Aya faces overwhelming evidence as an unpopular celestial Tenshi is accused of stealing.
The game is divided into four chapters, each involving a separate trial: Trial 1: Witness the rise of Gensokyo's first defense attorney as Cirno is put on trial for breaking a camera belonging to Rinnosuke. Trial 2: After an explosion at Eientei leads to the theft of a pot, Aya has to defend the most notorious thief in Gensokyo. Trial 3: An unlikely candidate is accused to poisoning Suika with "Oni Killer Sake," putting her into a coma. Extra Trial: Aya faces overwhelming evidence as an unpopular celestial is accused of stealing. How will Aya overcome the overwhelming evidence against her?
