What is JudgeSim?
JudgeSim is a single-player, 2D text-based simulation set in a corrupt republic. You review evidence and question accused people in increasingly difficult cases, then decide guilt and assign punishment under the law. Civil disputes, bribes, family expenses, and mental health complicate your work, while your choices affect the ending.
For you if...
- +you enjoy reading cases and weighing evidence
- +you like choices that lead to different endings
