Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Case 5: Turnabout Substitution

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Case 5: Turnabout Substitution is a fangame based on the Ace Attorney series. A Fan Sequel to Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, it takes the form of a "bonus case" similar to the fifth case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

It is notable for being one of the few Ace Attorney games made by fans you can actually play, as the full game (that is, approximately 7 h of gameplay) has been released.

You start out defending the series' lovable old Judge, accused of murdering an infamous serial killer in his prison cell. But as always, things are not as simple as they appear, and the case soon takes an unexpected direction. You'll meet cheerful funeral directors and public figures still stuck in Ancient Greece, decipher hidden messages on mysterious clues, and face a tough-as-nails prosecutor in an epic courtroom battle.

Has its own website, including a (very much needed) walkthrough and behind-the-scenes information.
