Although the game initially takes place in Japan, the two later travel to the United Kingdom and work cases alongside the renowned detective Herlock Sholmes.

Set in the late 19th century during Japan's Meiji Period and Britain's Victorian era, the game tells the story of an ancestor of Phoenix Wright, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, who works to sleuth out the truth in witnesses’ testimonies and clear his clients’ names in court alongside a cast of characters - including local ace detective Herlock Sholmes.
