Similar to the earlier Ace Attorney game, there is cases in the game, & to open a new case, earlier cases to be resolved. Chronologically, the game seems to happen after the trials & tribulations & before Apollo Justice. cases are introduced out of chronological sequence in the game, although each describes a series of public events connected to an international smuggling ring & the Great Yatagarasu Thieves who tried to expose the smuggling ring to "steal the truth" & reveal the facts to the public.

Gameplay
This game is a standard "point and click" adventure, with the player controlling Edgeworth's movements and what they interacts with. For each case, the objective is to collect facts to select who the perpetrator is, how the crime was committed and their motive. This is introduced as a mix of a third-person view showing the characters at the crime scene and through animated close-up images of the characters, annotated by text dialog. In some cases, still images are used to highlight dramatic scenes.

The gameplay is similar to the other Ace Attorney games, with inquiry phases and rebuttal phases, which take the place of the earlier cross-examination phases. In each of the cases, the game alternates between these phases until the case is resolved; the player usually has the choice to save the game between each set of Investigation/Rebuttal phases, although, as in earlier titles, the player may also save at any point in the game. The player is given a meter, similar in function to a health bar, that tracks how close Edgeworth is to discovering the truth of what happened; making mistakes in the Logic, Deduction, or Rebuttal sections can lead to losing some fraction of that bar. Ought to all of the bar be lost, Edgeworth will have lost track of the truth, and the case will be thought about over in a bad ending (such as the arrest of an innocent person); the player will then must restart from their last save. After finishing an Inquiry phase, the player will be given a few the truth meter back.
