Use the submission form.

It must be a fully-functional, complete case — not a Work in Progress, and free of known plot-holes that ruin gameplay.

It also needs a functional witness document with appropriate notes, and a clear path through the case made known to the witness.

Requests are allowed for smaller details. Requests that are illogical in the context of the case are not. Requests required for truth should be hinted at in a testimony or court record.

Finally, your plot should be at least logical and reasonably figure-out-able by a person.

Click the case logo on the card — it'll open the case document. On mobile, the cards are a bit smaller but the link works the same way.

Use the Sort dropdown above the grid. You can sort by:

• Difficulty Order — the original VCL format
• Length Order — Short, Moderate, Long
• Alphabetical — A→Z or Z→A
• Newest First — newest cases at the top

You can also stack filters: e.g. show only Hard cases tagged "Custom Files".

DM any issues to one of the editors on Discord: frickau, kfcgull, or pinadapina.

For any reason, contact the editors on Discord: frickau, kfcgull, or pinadapina.

The goal is to add new cases monthly at the start of each month, but schedules can shift due to other circumstances.

Your case will be tested by an editor — either by joining a run or supervising one (this run cannot involve the CM).

You'll then be contacted via Discord with the approval/denial. If denied, a valid reason will be provided to help you improve the case.

The aim is monthly updates on the first of every month at midnight GMT/BST (depending on Daylight Savings).

Yes — non-vanilla cases can be submitted. A Google Drive link with the required files for non-vanilla characters will be embedded in the Custom Files tag on the case card.

Yes — the editors made the Drive links themselves and they're 100% trusted. If you need help with ini-swapping or setting up the files, the Resource Library has guides.

Each case has tags in its description giving extra context:

• Difficulty — approximate challenge for the defence: Easy, Medium, or Hard.
• Length — average duration: Short (<3 hours), Moderate (3–5 hours), Long (5+ hours).
• ⭐ NEW — recently added in the latest update.
• Tutorial Case — recommended for starters in the Easy category.
• NSFW — explicit sexual and/or graphic content. Toggle "Hide NSFW cases" in the filter row to remove these from the list.
• Custom Files — needs additional asset files; click the tag to download them.

Cases are reviewed for playability. If a case doesn't meet the conditions outlined above, it's likely been removed or denied.

For more in-depth info on why a case got removed/denied, contact the editors on Discord (frickau, kfcgull, pinadapina).

Logos are made for every approved VCL case. If you'd like to use the logo for your own case page, ask an editor for permission and credit them on the case.

Logos generally aren't created for cases that aren't going on VCL — they take time to make.

Logos are made by Wolfang (Discord: luwolfang), Fricka, Pina, and Knight. Don't use them without permission.

If you don't like the provided logo, or have a different idea, DM an editor on Discord and they'll try to help suit the design to your needs. If you want to make your own, they can offer guidance on that too (no guarantees).

Other case lists are welcome — but please don't copy the formatting of VCL. The team has put significant time into the doc, so any plagiarism (even unintentional) is discouraged.

A case depicting murder is far from enough to be NSFW (that's what Ace Attorney is built on). NSFW means more overt and gruesome depictions — gore images, evidence with technical/violent imagery that may unsettle some viewers.

NSFW also includes nudity or sexual themes that aren't appropriate for minors. A case can touch on these themes (and sensitive topics like suicide) as long as it isn't overly explicit.

Everyone has their own approach, but Fricka has written a guide that can help and provide advice on supporting VCL. Find the guide here.
