Why not check out our English patch for the third DS game, Spiraling Trap? Or, if you’re a Japanese translator, please consider getting in touch with us to help bring a patch for the second game, Successors to L, to reality!

I'll preface this by saying that I'm grateful to the team for releasing yet another translation and for their consistent and commendable dedication to Visual Novels for DS.
But personally, this game is a big disappointment, at least the first chapter: in this one the gameplay is limited and boring, the accusation and defense phrases are banal and repetitive. Everything takes place in one room. There is no moving of the 2 main characters from one place to another in search of clues. It is not remotely comparable to Ace Attorney. I tolerated the long introduction (tutorial), but then I tolerated the first chapter, which was even worse, for 5 minutes before the final, definitive goodbye. Are the subsequent chapters like this one? Couldn't someone upload a .sav file to skip directly to the second chapter? I can not manage to proceed to the second chapter and moreover here you can not even save.
Thanks.

@Scarlet & @Flame Thank you for your kind words! I expect you might be seeing plenty more from us in the future :shy:

@Nikokaro The best way to describe the gameplay would be a game of wereworld/mafia, wherein the opponent is randomised and you have to figure out who they are in series of elimination by picking up on subtle cues. The 'Kira Game matches' all work in this way, with the story progressing as you move through the chapters and different match win conditions/new characters unlocking as you go.

The cheats file we include with the patch has a cheat to unlock all story chapters and apples, but here is a .sav for chapter 2 if you are interested :)

I really want to play this and I just installed the Twilight ++ to my DSi, could anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to get this running on my DS? Sorry, I’m not super techy, just a huge DN fan who’s been wanting to play this for years!

While this is not the thread to ask for this but what the hell.. You need to get the Japanese nDS rom (find it yourself, don't ask where here), and follow the instructions above to patch said Jap rom. When you're done, put the file inside SD:/Roms/nds folder, and it'll appear in Twilightmenu when you put the sd card back on the system. Of course that doesn't mean TWilightmenu will play the game perfectly, it also depends if the game's compatible with nds-bootstrap or not..

Usage:
Before you can play the translation, you'll need to patch the game on your computer using a legal copy of the ROM. There are two methods by which this can be done, online, via the ROMhacking.net downloads page, and locally by downloading an additional piece of software.

ONLINE METHOD
-On the ROMhacking.net download page, navigate to “Patch Online NOW!” under the ‘Links’ header.
-Upload your ROM using the ‘Choose File’ button where prompted.
-Select the patch that you wish to apply using the dropdown menu. (See ‘Rom Dump Compatibility’ for further explanation)
-Click ‘Apply Patch’, and wait for the download to complete. You should now have a patched copy of the ROM, labelled -input source- (patched).

SOFTWARE METHOD
-Download DeltaPatcher from https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/704/
-Extract the file, and run either DeltaPatcher or DeltaPatcherLite
-'Original file' should be your copy of the ROM, as an '.nds' filetype.
-For 'XDelta patch', choose the 'KiraGamePatch.xdelta' file.
-Hit apply patch, and you're good to go!

*Note that this will overwrite your original file. If you’d like to keep a copy of it instead, change the settings by clicking the cog icon, and tick “Backup original file”. This will create a new ‘--PATCHED.nds’ file instead.

Play this file on an emulator such as DeSmuME, or use a flashcart to play it on any member of the NDS family.

See our beginner's guide to NDS patching for more info if you need help.
