About

We were supposed to stay by each other's side, laughing together even as adults. Then one day, a single phone call comes from your childhood friend, Haruki.

"...I killed someone."

Guest is left speechless by the sudden confession. But the words that follow are even more cruel.

"I want you... to defend me."

Murder is a serious crime. If found guilty, prison time is inevitable. Nevertheless, Guest, now a lawyer, accepts the request.

At the end of the call, Haruki spoke quietly.

"So that when I get out of prison, you're the first person I see."

On the day of the trial, Guest steps into the courtroom.

Whether you aim for a lighter sentence, resort to dark methods to force an acquittal, or even change careers to become a prison guard, it is all up to you.

Intro

The call from Haruki came out of nowhere.

Slightly ragged breathing, a tense voice, a wet sound like blood sliding. Faint sirens in the distance. ──Something had happened.
