If you exclude the DLC case, all of the cases within this game take place without space of 23 days, in a chronological order, the shortest length of time then any other Ace Attorney game.
"Turnabout Storyteller" features strong themes of alcohol: the defendant is an alcoholic (underage in the English version), drinking alcohol played a vital aspect in the events of the murder, and a scene involves the player getting a witness drunk to prove a point to the court. This came about partly to dispel the misconception that the series was censoring alcohol. This is a misconception that came about due to the frequent use of grape juice within previous titles.
