''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

''My Little Investigations'' is a fan game staring the cast of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' with gameplay in the style of the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' spin-off series ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'', which started as a project by the YouTube user [=GabuEx=], now the leader of the group [[http://www.equestriandreamers.com/ Equestrian Dreamers]].

Like the game it's based on, ''My Little Investigations'' is planned to tell a story across four to five chapters with Twilight Sparkle as the main character, following her investigations of a series of crimes that are taking place in Ponyville. While each chapter will mostly be self-contained, there will be a common thread linking the chapters together for the conclusion.

The current version of the demo can be downloaded [[http://www.equestriandreamers.com/2012/12/14/mli-demo-2-released/ here]].
----
!! ''My Little Investigations'' provides examples of:
* AlwaysMurder: {{Averted|Trope}}. [[WordOfGod GabuEx]] has stated that none of the cases will involve murder.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Apparently, when the CMC tried to get Cutie Marks in interpretive dancing, they set a tiger loose, Rarity's mane was on fire, and Opalescence was stuck in a tree.
* CallBack: The balls Pinkie Pie set up around town in case of ball emergencies are brought up. Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Promise is also brought up once more.
* DarkerAndEdgier: When compared to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
* DeadpanSnarker: Twilight as usual. Possibly more so than usual.
* FirstPersonSmartass: Twilight, as is usual for Ace Attorney protagonists.
* ForcedTutorial: Played straight, unlike the other ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' games.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Twilight again.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Whenever Pinkie Pie explains the mechanics of the game.
* LighterAndSofter: When compared to the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series due to averting AlwaysMurder.
* LyingToThePerp: A variation. Twilight lies to Rarity by making it seem like she knows more than she really does to get Rarity to stop hiding information.
* NoodleIncident: Several:
** The case the investigative team from Canterlot worked on. Whatever it was, it was enough of a mess that the rest of Ponyville [[OhNoNotAgain dreads their return]].
** Twilight's last case.
*** It could have easily been ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E24MysteryOnTheFriendshipExpress MMMystery On The Friendship Express]]''.
** The CMC's attempts at getting Cutie Marks in interpretive dancing.
* OhMyGods: As is usual for [=FiM=] fan works (and the show itself to a degree), anytime the word "god" would show up in a common phrase, it's replaced with "Celestia".
* ShoutOut: If Twilight talks to Apple Bloom about herself, she mentions a scientific paper written by [[VideoGame/HalfLife Dr. Gordon Freecolt]].
* TaughtByTelevision: Twilight apparently learned all of her investigative skills through mystery novels.
