About:

Acquittal: Induction, the first installment in a planned series, was born from inspiration from Capcom's Ace Attorney series and is in many ways a homage. Alternating between investigating criminal cases at the crime scene and defending clients in heated courtroom trials, it inherits its basic mechanics from the classic visual novel series, while taking and running with those core concepts. It has been on an indefinite hiatus since April 06, 2018.

Story:

Capital punishment hasn't occurred in the United Kingdom since 1964, but, on the 15th March 2019, a colossal domestic terrorist attack on the state's most prestigious law school leaves the criminal legal system in chaos. With thousands of deaths, survivor Storm Sente, a mere 20-year-old law student, finds himself called to the bar to fulfil his premature duty. But as the so-called People's Movement for the Revival of Capital Punishment grows into an ever-larger, ever-present threat, the bar is by no means a safe place to be. With even the long-standing local police corruption rearing its ugly head, there's more to fight against than the cases themselves as friends become almost indistinguishable from enemies – the very future of law and order hangs in the balance, from forces both inside and out. Join Storm and investigate crime scenes, defend clients in court, achieve justice for the innocent and – with a bit of luck – uncover the truth of the fateful terrorist attack and the sprawling cult behind it.
