The second case, Turnabout Sisters, was originally going to be the first case of the game, but it was thought to be too long for a prologue, so a new case, The First Turnabout, was created. Series creator Shu Takumi commented that he wrote some of the key twists of The First Turnabout in just 10 minutes (i.e. Spoiler:the passport and the time zone difference).
