Attorney Online, abbreviated AO, is a roleplaying chatroom based primarily in the Ace Attorney universe. Sporting hundreds of player-made characters, court cases and abstract roleplays, AO has been a tight-knit community for well over 5 years.
We are always welcoming new additions to our community. If you'd like to learn more, please check out our Discord server.
Confused on how to install the game? Try the launcher!
If you're a server owner, you can leverage the launcher to deploy custom assets for your player base. Documentation coming soon.
Use Wine. Wine lets you play Windows games natively without Boot Camp. Be sure you have the latest version of Wine (≥2.0.3)!
Linux releases currently only support 64-bit operating systems. If you are using a 32 bit version of Linux, try Wine.
You can download a special client for your potato computer which is compatible
with Windows XP machines. NOTE: This is not made by the official AO team.
Consult "Headshot" on the official Discord if you need help regarding this client.
(This client will also download the vanilla content for you!)

Excellent question! To start, you will want to find either a pre-written case or a case template to create your own case. Next, find players to fill in each position (prosecution, defense, co-defense, judge, witnesses, etc.). Once you have gathered the required players and found a vacant courtroom, you can begin your case!
Still finding it confusing? There are various communities in AO that organize cases regularly; you need only find and watch (or even join) a case to get an idea of how the game works.
Cases can last around 5 to 6 hours.
