Ace Attorney Investigations: Virtual Despair

Ashbrooke Boarding School: only the most gifted of young people could attend and graduate. Students with talents of every kind attend the school and are considered to be the hope for the future. Each class is filled with Ultimate scholars. But when a collection of these students are thrown into a virtual world where only death and doom awaits, that hope begins to hang from a thread. Niamh Wood and her sixteen classmates are ensnared in cyberspace and are told that they must commit murder if they wish to escape. Find the murderer, and only they receive punishment. Make the wrong choice, however, and the murderer escapes while everyone else is punished. And when the avatar is punished, what happens to the real body...?
Whoever is behind this killing school trip, they want only one thing: to cause virtual despair.
