This trial contains MAJOR spoilers for Dual Destinies! You've been warned!

(There's also typos. Lots and lots of typos.)


Looks like after just a few short months, I ended up going back on my word. In spite of wanting Curtain to be my last case, an idea had come up in my head that just wouldn't let me rest (quite literally) until it was completed. Well -- now it is. I hereby present The Dragon's Turnabout, a case which I believe is the best work I have produced to date. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I've happened to enjoy making it!

Investigation / Trial / Verdict / Appeal / Sentencing
Premise
Spoiler : Premise :
This trial follows the first bad ending of Dual Destinies (which can be viewed here.)

That's... really all I'm willing to say about it without spoiling, I'm afraid.

Neato.

I'd be up for betatesting, as I'm sure I would get through it, say, in a weekend. However, I'm kind of also still doing work for... a different case right now, which I probably should work on soon, so you might not want to keep me as a high priority.

I wish you best of luck! I would offer to beta test, but I'm still quite new, so I'm not sure I would do a proper job.

I am very excited for this case but I'm just wondering...
Spoiler : :
Which ending is the one who will be canon to this case? In the video, there was two endings. One where Athena no longer worked at the agency. (thank goodness...) And Apollo turning emo, then there was the other one, where Trucy and the hostages vanished without a trace. And Phoenix giving up his badge, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. 8)

As I said,
Spoiler : :
The first one -- the one when you fail Blackquill's testimony. The one with Apollo turning emo, Athena leaving the office, Phoenix hanging his badge up and Trucy being taken away are all part of the same ending.

Well, it's done. Shipped to beta-testers, one report down.

Now to find out from the reports of the other two that my logic horribly broke and I have to throw the entire thing out the window.

Gotta drop the... CURTAINS... on that, because then the trial with feel EMPTY. You don't even have an ASSISTANT because it will form a CASCADE of conflicting ideas. You're the FATHER of dark trials, and, it's like, what? You think it'll be finished by TOMORROW? Not even AT DAWNS BREAK!...er... A BURNED MAN WALKS DOWN A DESOLATE HALLWAY.

OT: Good luck man! Hope there's no problems.

Well, thanks!

In the meantime, I've decided to do something I rarely do - release a screenshot. One that I believe represents the... spirit of the case, I'd say.
Spoiler : Spoilers, obviously, don't open if you want to go in completely blind. Then again, for all you know, it could be fake so :
