Video Game / A Turnabout With Too Many Faces

Go To

Four perfect strangers awaken in an empty hotel. Trapped in a snowstorm, forgotten by the living and pitied by the dead, they are guided by the strange voice on the vinyl. It appears they've found themselves in a game. The rules are simple. Frankly, they couldn't be simpler. In four days, they shall be released. There is only one instruction they must follow: "Do not kill anyone."

A Turnabout With Too Many Faces is a fan-made work of the Ace Attorney series. It was created using the Ace Attorney Online trial editor, as an entry for the trial competition Broken Commandments hosted on the website.

The author of the case is DWaM, an author of many other trials.

This fan case provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Jerkass: Klavier Gavin is much more of a jerk here, having lots of glee in seeing Phoenix go to jail for the robbery. It's because Sam has been whispering in his head.
  • Always Murder: Zigzagged. Phoenix himself is on trial for a robbery rather than murder, but later on Ron is revealed to have been killed.
  • Arc Words: "Alive for now, but good as dead."
  • Death by Adaptation: Ron De Lite is revealed to have been murdered partway through the case. He's alive and well in the main series.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Dahlia Hawthorne is Sam's sister, and one the responsible for making her attempt to frame Phoenix.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Desiree De Lite. Due to her Mnemosyne addiction, Sam is able to get her to convince Phoenix to take some himself, and therefore st up her plot to frame him.
  • Wham Shot: In an last-ditch effort to get himself acquitted, Phoenix attempts to call Jamie Strange to the stand... only to see an entirely different person than he thought he'd summon, leading him to realize he's been duped the entire time.
