Sex & Nudity
-
- A female balloon artist has a recurring animation in which she makes her breasts jiggle, and another one off animation depicts her bursting them, to reveal that she has inflated her flat chest with balloons. There are innuendos throughout her appearances to characters liking her "balloons" and her "balloon artistry".
- Case two features characters who dress in stereotypical "playboy bunny" attire, although they are actually explicitly magicians.
- A cameraman has an openly perverted attraction for Bonny, a magician in a "play boy bunny" attire. Footage filmed by the cameraman, which involves him focusing the camera on Bonny and panning it over her, becomes major evidence in the case, and is examined by the player. There are also comments made related to what the cameraman "plans to do with the footage". The cameraman and his actions are explicitly stated to have made Bonny uncomfortable.
Violence & Gore
-
- Players routinely investigate homicides, including investigating crime scenes that are soaked in blood. Crime photos which depict victims laying in pools of blood, and with clearly viable wounds, are frequently used pieces of evidence. Several homicides are indirectly shown to the player.
- A homicide in which a man is shot multiple times in the chest is explicitly shown in full.
- A (non-fatal) shooting of a woman in the stomach is explicitly shown in full.
- Brutality is briefly depicted being committed by police against civilians during several still images.
Profanity
-
- "Hell", as in the religious location, is frequently mentioned, often in the form of a religious threat (e.g. "Your soul will burn in hell").
- "Damn" is said several times.
- "Pohlkunan" is a insult in the fictional Khura'inese language, often used in the same context as "bastard" or "son of a bitch".
- "Crap" said several times.
- "B.S" (short for "bullshit") is said multiple times.
- A scene has foul mouthed opinions on a stage performance paraphrased when read in court by a prosecutor. (e.g. "It was a steaming pile of...you get the idea")
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- One character is an underage alcoholic (The setting is Los Angeles, where the drinking age is 21, whereas the alcoholic character is 20).
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Trials are constantly intense, and feature suspenseful and frightening moments. Multiple trials in the game feature the explicit failure condition of execution for both the defendant and the protagonist should the player fail to win "not guilty".
- Ahlbi, a 9 year old child, is at risk of execution during the first episode. The courtroom gallery frequently chant for his (and Phoenix's) death.
- Players frequently witness the "final memories" of murder victims, in which they witness the person's murder from their point of view, and see what they felt. The player must go often through these final memories, and point out an inconsistency with what the murder victim experienced, and the current case interpretation.
- Players go against fictionalized monarchy figures, and commit blasphemous acts against a fictional religion. The hero characters (by extension the player) are frequently threatened with divine and religious retribution by religious figures, including the threat of punishment in hell, and in their "next life".
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
