Gameplay
You play as a character and act under the role of L or Kira. As either, you must punish your opponent before you lose (die, get arrested, or are the last one standing). You take turns speaking and saying who you think may or may not be Kira. This costs proposal points (which you get back on your turn) and increases and/or decreases a person's Suspiciousness (red) or Trust Level (blue). People with checks are more likely to be voted out as Kira. A high trust level makes a person less likely to argue with the person they trust. In addition, Kira also has a supporter.

Kira
Of the two roles, Kira has the most advantages. When someone's trust towards you is 100%, they will give you a hint as to who isn't L. Not only can you vote a person off as Kira, you can kill who you think L might be. If you kill someone who isn't L, your max proposal points are halved.

L
L can check to see if a person is Kira after voting takes place. If a person has an X, they aren't Kira. If someone has 2 circles, they are. After voting takes place, if you arrest someon who's not Kira, your max proposal points drop by twenty.

Story Mode
The story mode covers the events from when L reveals himself to the NPA to the time of L's death. Obtaining 16 apples also unlocks a bonus chapter from the "L's Successors" arc.

Single Mode
This is a free mode where the player may play alone as either Kira or L as any character they have unlocked. The player may also choose their CPU opponents.

Multiplayer Mode
Up to two people may play using two seperate cartridges. Players are restricted to characters the furthest player has unlocked. The game does not utilize Wi-Fi compatibility.

Unlockable Characters
While the majority of unlockable characters are obtained from beating the first chapter containing that character in Story Mode, the following characters must have the necessary amount of apples to be unlocked:

Near: Get 5 apples. Mello: Get 10 apples. Teru: Get 15 apples. Neo Light: Get 18 apples. (Obtainable only after Bonus Episode 12 has been unlocked)

Trivia

 * Light and L's seiyuu narrated the TV commercial for Kira Game.
 * It's said to play much like famous Nintendo DS game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
 * Neo Light is simply Light with his Kira-deranged face and the coat he used in the first and Yotsuba arcs.
