Hey man first off, I love the pun and the setting and all of it is amazing! But I am getting an issue where I am unable to play because the popups come up on the screen but I cannot like take them down https://gyazo.com/82c92fb01fb1c7c55dfb56f1cb867679 . Is there something I am doing wrong or is this a bug?

I love the concept. However, the game does have some interface issues, including "next line" playing the previous line and clicking for testimony after it's complete throws a Java memory error (probably array index out of bounds) and crashes the game. Still an oddly interesting little concept. Great work.

Interesting game, but I ran into the same bugs as the people above. Also feel like it ended a bit abruptly, would have liked a bit more :)

Wishing I could have thought of that take on the theme!

After the funniness of the horse joke wore off, I found this one pretty cool. I think I agree that more horses to judge before the ending would've been cool, but it was fun to have a few mini moral dilemmas to consider. In paper's please I found there was always a bit of friction to have hard rules to follow that were clearly penalized. I quite prefer not having the rules be so explicit, and rather having to just make the judgement call. And love the art + ambience going on!!

Haha, I found it. I remembered seeing this a while back and it inspired me in the jam (Thank you <3), but I couldn't find my way back..

Disappointed this did not get rated. As a fellow Horse-Politics Historian I love games like these.
