Oh I forgot to mention... I can't believe I didn't think of "delivering justice."
edit: Hey.. I feel like it could be me overreacting, but some of you guys need to rate others in order to be rated and exposed. I was going through the games I rated just in case I missed anything and you guys were the only ones not receiving the duly love. Part of that is because you're not rating others; it's not "essential" but it really helps exposure. Another is to have a webgl build where you can host directly online.
The writing and art was good tho!
Overall, amazing game, especially in 3 days. I can't really find much to critique other than perhaps the genre being one of those court games, but the ability to look at the evidence from all angles was a really good feature and really spices things up. Nice job :)
+ I found it a bit hard to rotate the evidence back to the original nice state, maybe have a button to reset the rotation
+ I found the evidence pointing to one of the verdicts and wasn't sure if it was intentional.
+ I tried both outcomes and found it surprising the not guilty verdict still resulted in a sentence.
+ Also I feel like explaining the complicated word for paralysis would be good for understanding the story (earlier on, as the meaning was implied later on).
I think the evidence presented in not conclusive either way, and following the "innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt" - I was not convinced that the defendant killed the victim.
Some say that the game is light on gameplay: my perspective is that a game is a set of interesting choices, and the choice presented here has very severe consequences. Throughout the game, I learned more information and examined the evidence to help inform that choice and develop my reasoning. So I think yes, it is a game. Unfortunately this happens every day, and it's not a game.
Some thing that could be better: it might be nice to clarify why there is no jury, since some countries do trial by jury and some don't.
Either way, I really liked the art/sound design, especially in the context of a game jam!
