Immerse yourself into a world set in early 90’s in which you gather (or fabricate!) evidence, deduct and run fierce courtroom battles. Would you choose to be a lawful attorney or rather an underhanded rogue who uses all his means to win the cases no matter the cost? Story Follow the story of Mark Ferry, a fallen attorney-at-law, who has just left rehab to start his life and career from the beginning. A lot of time and effort will be needed to regain his former position and trust among acquaintances. Meet also Hector Diaz who works for Mark as his private eye and helps him during investigation and evidence gathering. Choices Each episode is a separate case with ground-breaking decisions which will have both short and long-lasting consequences, having an impact on further parts of the story and eventually the grand finale. Investigation The gameplay is split into two parts: the investigation and the courtroom battle. During the first part you get to know about next case and run your independent investigation. It is your decision how will you handle your possible witnesses and found evidence or cooperate with the police and the district attorney. You will visit the crime scene and other locations to check possible clues, interrogate witnesses, examine potential evidence and decide what to do with it, prepare your client for the trial and eventually prepare your line of defence. During this part you will be switching between two playable characters: Mark Ferry and Hector Diaz, who both have their own flaws and strong sides, having different impact during dealing certain situtations. Courtroom During the courtroom battle you will use all your knowledge about the case and previously-formed conclusions during evidence analysis, listen to testimonies and cross-examinate potential witnesses. However, the district attorney will try to undermine all your efforts to win jury’s favor. The result of the trial is strictly related to your previous decisions and performance during the trial. So, what would you do to win the case? Key features: deep and engaging storyline set in early 90s when pagers were still widely used rather than cellphones, ground-breaking decisions affecting not only the current case, but also further events in later episodes, different ways of handling the case, two playable characters with their own traits: Mark Ferry (an attorney), Hector Diaz (a private eye), form different conclusions basing on your approach to presented evidence, testimonies and other leads, real-time reaction to testimonies and cross-examinations at the court, win jury’s favor, restore your reputation.
