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!
