Turnabout of the Golden Witch

Two unlikely lawyers step into the ring. 

 Whose logic will reign supreme?

An Ace Attorney fan game starring Battler Ushiromiya and Beatrice, the Golden Witch.  As your client's appointed attorney, it is up to you to defend her from the golden prosecutor's assault. With the stage of battle firmly rooted in the world of human logic, will Battler finally defeat the Golden Witch?

Being a crossover,  this game assumes the player is familiar with Ace Attorney gameplay (meaning there's no tutorial on pressing, presenting evidence, etc). It also assumes you've read episode 2 of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. 

The "prologue" PDF is a short story that sets up the case. It is completely optional, and I recommend you skip it if you haven't finished Umineko, due to potential (vague) spoilers. 

About PyWright 

The case is built on a modified version of the PyWright engine, an Ace Attorney casemaker written in Python. It is bundled with the game, and the game will NOT work with any other versions of PyWright. More about PyWright here: https://www.pygame.org/project-PyWright-904-.html 

If you're familiar with Ace Attorney, navigating the UI via mouse clicks should be intuitive. PyWright also provides the following: 

<Esc>	Open PyWright menu, where you can configure graphical/audio settings and the like, as well as manage saves.
<F5>	Save the game state.
<F7>	Open the load menu.

If you'd like to play the game on a Mac, I'd recommend Wine. It might be possible to hack the engine to work on OSX natively, but...

WARNING: PyWright is an old engine that isn't well-maintained. As a result, there is a sequence in the game which is a bit unstable: if you save and reload during the "revisualization" (thought route), you will be booted back to the beginning of that sequence. Thus, you'll have to finish that sequence in one go.

Also, please do NOT save in the middle of a line! Wait until the text from a line of dialogue has finished rendering before attempting to save. Testers encountered a rare bug where saving during a screen shake will potentially brick your save file.
