The Ace Attorney-inspired visual novel Tyrion Cuthbert : Attorney of the Arcane is bringing its law-based legerdemainry (that's another word for magic) to Steam and phones in December 2022.
Set in the kingdom of Wyverngarde. where only the elite have access to magic, you play as defense attorney Tyrion Cuthbert as he defends the innocent.
What sets this apart from your run-of-the-mill lawyer sim is the magic system that's "heavily inspired by tabletop games" requiring players to use the rules of magic as evidence, similar to in Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.
If the game's funding succeeds, TC:AA will feature music by YouTube stars insaneintherain (hear him talk about some of his process here) and Shady Cicada, both of whom are no stranger to game music.
According to the FAQ, "[TC:AA] will feature approximately ten hours of gameplay and will be split up into five episodes.", which puts it on par with each game in the recently released Great Ace Attorney Chronicles duo-logy.
With an IndiGoGo campaign and Steam demo launched last month, be sure to watch this space for an in-depth preview of the game's first case and check out the trailer below.
