THIS GUIDE IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH SPOILERS, given that it talks about the exact solution to each and every single one of the mysteries in the game. As such, I WILL NOT BOTHER PUTTING ANY SPOILER WARNINGS ON ANY IMAGES AND/OR NAMES that give away the solution. YOU SHOULD ONLY CHECK THIS GUIDE AFTER HAVING COMPLETED THE TRIAL ONCE, or at least having a good notion of the events that transpired. Proceed at your own discretion, you have been warned.

I decided to make this guide because I have seen many people saying that this game has no objective truth when it comes to who did what, and it is ultimately up to you to decide how the mysteries unfolded. That is simply not true. The game does have an objective truth, given that accusing the people who actually committed the crime will prompt them to respond with a confession to having done it. The other reason is it took some testing to figure out exactly who I needed to convict at every point to reveal all the truths, so I thought I could help some people by making it clear what the best path to get every explanation is. So if you think there is some part of the crime that feels weird or you don't comprehend, this guide will show how to arrive at the answers to all those questions.

Also, sorry for the block of text, I needed to do this so people don't get instantly spoiled when entering the guide.

Before you go to trial, beware that you will need to gather a lot of evidence to get every character to confess to their crimes, so search every nook and cranny in the map and make sure you have examined every evidence in the game and exhausted all dialogue options with every character by using the Augmented Vision to look for exclamation marks on them. When you feel you have done everything you can, check this website[www.neoseeker.com], and on the same site the "Crime Case Files" section, to make sure nothing is missing.

*NOTE: Couldn't find a verified complete list of evidence anywhere online (that list is missing evidence found in Eyes Kiwami's apartment), so please comment on any other evidence you have found, in either the "Suspects" or "Crimes" section, that doesn't show up there.

When the trial starts, you will be able to leave the stand and talk to the characters. Make sure you talk to every single one of the characters and then go pick up your gun. After that you can go back to the stand, and the first trial will commence.

The first trial relates to the way in which Henry managed to escape from the Desolation Cell. Your first instinct when accusing someone here is Grand Marshal Akiko 14, but, if you do that, you will not be able to expose the part of Witness' plan that involves awakening the demon inside Henry. So the one you should accuse here, is The Witness To The End.


For you to accuse him correctly you will need to choose these dialogue options:

• [UNDERMINE] - Only sufferer
  
• [ACCUSE] - Your word

Accusing him will uncover part of his plan, explaining why the demon was able to overcome the inhibitors and what the device found at the Paradise Gates was used for. If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule The Witness To The End as guilty.

This is pretty cut and dry. Yuri is obviously the guilty one here, and convicting him is the only way to get Henry not to be found guilty.


Part of Carmelina's plan will be revealed. If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Yuri Night as guilty.


*NOTE: If you don't like Yuri, don't worry, he will be accused every time you can successfully convict him.

You will have to choose these dialogue options before accusing anyone:

• [CAUTIOUS] - The truth
  
• [DISAGREE] - No

This one is again not what you might think, while Carmelina is the only one here who fits all the characteristics of the murderer, accusing her will make Akiko get away scot-free. For you to be able to convict her, you need to accuse Grand Marshal Akiko 14.


If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Grand Marshal Akiko 14 as guilty. After that is done she will reveal that the killer was actually Carmelina, but she did help her in killing One Last Kiss. This makes it so that the Judge convicts both Akiko and Carmelina of the murder.

You have to choose this option before accusing anyone:

• [EXPLAIN] - Breach several days ago

So far all of the crimes had a catch, and this one is no different. That being said, we are not going to accuse Lydia. This time, although the crime has a catch, it is not the correct way to go. By accusing Lydia you will miss the opportunity to convict Akiko for killing the guards, so you need to accuse Grand Marshal Akiko 14.


You will need to choose these dialogue options:

• [SUSPICION] - Barracks
  
• [INTERROGATE] - Switched bodies

If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Grand Marshal Akiko 14 as guilty. She will then reveal that she helped Henry escape the Desolation Cell, getting her a conviction for that as well.

For some reason crimes committed by Yuri are really simple. Yes, we are accusing Yuri.


If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Yuri Night as guilty.


I have seen some confusion about whether Crimson Acid is guilty or not, but considering the evidence about Yuri, and the fact that he confesses, that is not at all the case.

You might think this time we are finally going for Lydia, but no. We once again will be accusing Yuri Night, because by convicting him here, we also convict him of entering the third and fourth Seals, but most importantly, he gives details about Carmelina's conspiracy.


If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Yuri Night as guilty. After that is done, he will detail how he took Dianonigate through the second Seal, and used him to open the third and fourth Seals. That gets Dianonigate convictions for those crimes.

Yuri and Dianonigate were already convicted for these crimes, so you have to choose this dialogue option to proceed:

• [PURSUE] - More Truth

Now is finally the time you can go after Lydia and Sam, since they are the only other people who surpassed a Seal. For that we must accuse Sam Day Break.


If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Sam Day Break as guilty. When that happens, Lydia comes out about her involvement in Witness's plan, getting her convictions for breaking the first and second Seals.

There's really nothing to be done here. All of the people that entered the fourth Seal have already been convicted, so just choose these dialogue options to get the convictions:

• [ACCUSE] - Someone else
  
• [PROCEED] - Only truth

I wonder who might be guilty of this. Yes, it is Witness.


If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule The Witness To The End as guilty.

Ok. This is the only crime in which you need to look at multiple pieces of evidence and make deductions to arrive at a conclusion of what really happened. I have seen some discourse around the topic but I think I have a pretty good grasp of what happened. Dianonigate is the sole murderer of the Council, these are the reasons I came to this conclusion:

• The room has blood everywhere, including the walls.
  
• Yuri states Dianonigate got in the room before any bullets were shot.
  
• Only two bullets were shot. One on the demon's head and another on Dianonigate's chest.
  
• The demon's corpse is right in front of the box he came out of.
  
• Dianonigate says he entered the room and started killing every council member, described by Love Dies as "quickly and efficiently".
  
• Dianonigate talks about how a demon showed up and how "he wasn't supposed to be there".
  
• Monserrat is very paranoid and it is stated he wakes from meditation more easily than the others.
  
• Monserrat's corpse is facing the wall with Dianonigate's blood.

So, taking all of that into consideration, I think it went somewhat like this:
Dianonigate enters the room and starts killing everybody in front of him. The demon gets out of the cage after Witness calls the number, when Dianonigate is in the process of killing Councillor Pandora Two. The sound causes Leader Monserrat to awaken from the meditation and he quickly shoots the demon in the head before he can kill anyone. He then notices Dianonigate in the room and shoots him. Dianonigate kills him and swiftly cuts Councillor Maken Origin's throat while fleeing the scene. Blood from the six Council members around the demon gets in its claws.

Having that cleared up, we are going to accuse Dianonigate.


If you have the necessary evidence, the Judge will rule Dianonigate as guilty.

You don't really have to do anything here. All the evidence you have collected during the trial and some you had prior to it will be used to expose the plans of these characters, you just need to read and choose this dialogue option:

• [QUESTION] - Worth it?

After that the trial is over.


Now it's time to punish people for their crimes. If you have done everything correctly, it should look like this:

If you're like me, I would advise you to make three different save slots:

• One outside the courtroom before you go in for the trial.
  
• A second one the last time the Judge asks if you want to save.
  
• And a final one after you do everything post-trial.

That way you can have the best of three worlds.

If you have read all the way here, thank you so much for taking your time to read this and I hope this helped you understand the game's lore a little more or helped you navigating the trials. The amount of wonky stuff you need to do to get all the correct convictions is insane.

Anyways, good gaming to everyone!
