It definitely makes you think on more than just facts or only emotions. Its make you use the two to make your case, something I missed on the first case and began understanding in the second one. Its also makes Time not a challenge but a resource to manage. I like it.

Highly recommend the game. It is based on a very interesting dystopian future, at the very beginning of AI achieving consciousness. The mind experiment is spectacular and it makes us revisit concepts like autonomy, identity, rights and power, as well as to consider the limits of legal system. It is also provides an insight into non-ideal setting of legal system. The game itself is essentially an anglosaxon court simulation. Even though it only has a few cases to go through, there is always a different jury, and various evidence can be obtained through different play styles. For example, crucial evidence in your first play-through might not be relevant on your second one. I really hope that the DEVs can have enough funding and time to keep working on it.

[/b] — Ever see a game which on one hand doesn't interest you due to how text based it is, while on the other hand pulling you closer to it for some odd reason? Thats how I felt when I first discovered this game. I decided to just out of giggles search up ‘law’ on steam and see what games they have to offer. This was one of them. While the style looked impressive, I was reluctant when I noticed that this will be a very text based game. Oh well, whats the worst that could happen? So obviously I was excited when I found out its finally out and could dwell into the world of the courtroom. And boy was I right! While it was very text based and hard to get into at first, I was happy I did because the extra work of reading made this game even better than I expected it to be. As a law student, I was impressed on the (somewhat) realism of this game while also keeping it fun and serious at the same time. What impressed me the most was the amount of choices and freedom given to the player to gather evidence, question witnesses and enter the courtroom. The game runs perfectly on any machine based on its specs and my own testing. In addition, while very text based, the game has done a remarkable job in blending in the text to its surroundings to not cause any strain or issue reading for the player. Although, theres no possibility to change text size or color for those wishing to do so, meaning it can end up difficult for those with worse eye sight. (Also, by this I'm unsure about its playability on the steam deck, but this game at point of writing, is in early access, so this might all change). Last, but not least comes the question we all have been waiting for….. (drum roll).... : is it worth it? Should you get this game or not? Theres no definite yes or no, it all comes down to personal preference. As mentioned, this is a very heavy text based game requiring a lot of reading and patience. Not just in the pre-courtroom period but also while in the courtroom: you have to be extra patient and think about how best to respond to the defendants remarks in order to impress the judges. (oh and theres also a way to manipulate them to a extent) Nothing fast based for quick fingers in this game ;) Regarding realism, as mentioned, this game is semi realistic in its pre and courtroom procedure but unrealistic in it obviously giving the player time to chose a answer and make others wait without consequences. Also, be ready to experience any glitches or bugs due to this game being in early access. That's about it! If you still feel like you're up for the challenge of this game, I would say, go on little lawyer, win that first and many more cases to come!

Edit: this game hasn't been updated since I purchased it. Considering that, I would not spend money on this game in it's current state. This game has potential, but there are a few key hiccups that need improvement. 1. A more thorough tutorial. There's tutorial to help in the initial case preparation, but no tutorial for how to carry out the trial. It also took me a minute to figure out the skill point increase after the case. There should also be some additional tips on how to gather more evidence and arguments. They kind of breeze past it and in my third case I reached what looked like a dead end. I found out after the fact that I missed 9 out of 11 pieces of evidence even after going through all of the dialog options with my client and researching arguments several times over. Maybe a little '?' button with some general tips could help. 2. Inconsistencies in dialog. Multiple times I've had characters whose names have changed to something completely different. There's also some proofreading that needs to be done in general. 3. Dialog options that shouldn't be there. There's been instances where dialog options were made available during a court case that added context/arguments that I shouldn't have seen, given that I didn't have evidence for it. I found myself wondering what it was talking about. For example, in one case, the opposing client had a history of drinking problems, but I never unearthed that evidence. It would make no sense for me to randomly throw accusations that the opposing client was an alcoholic if I never spoke with someone or found evidence that suggested a drinking habit. The premise and overall structure of this game is very good. It has a lot of potential and I want to see these kinks worked out. If so, this could become a new favorite.

我好像那个大怨种，41块钱买了一个半成品。只有三四个案件，2.5h通过？？？？？？？？？？？？？？开玩笑啊真是

I thought the concept was so damn interesting and I was really stoked for this game. The gameplay mechanics make no sense. It doesn't feel like anything I do is impactful. It's been abandoned for years at this point. Do not download this game.

游戏性上讲太差了，案件结果的9成都是由陪审团决定的，这很真实，但这并不好。
