  • story
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is set in an alternative post-WW2 society where players assume the role of a judge, making decisions that impact an overarching narrative filled with dark twists and turns. While some reviewers appreciate the intriguing plot and humor, others criticize the writing quality and game mechanics, describing them as tedious and poorly executed. Overall, the game offers a quick experience with the potential for a layered story, despite its flaws.

    • “You're a judge in an alternative post-WW2 type society and you're presented with various cases as part of an overarching story. You must read documentation carefully to make decisions that influence the overall story, like a badly framed choose your own adventure, but formatted like a 1998 browser/flash game.”
    • “If you can get past that, the darkness of the story and the twists and turns the plot takes may grab you.”
    • “If you ignore the bad writing (for a story-focused dialogue game), the game mechanics are also pretty bad and tedious.”
    • “Though even with a proper translation, the story content itself seemed pretty meh, and the game mechanics were just lame and lazy.”
    • “Overall, the game is simple, is very quick to finish (less than 3 hours for one playthrough), and has the promise of a deep, layered story.”
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its simplistic and tedious mechanics, often feeling like a browser game due to its 2D static images and repetitive audio. Players noted that the core mechanics, such as managing dialogue trees in court scenes, lack depth and originality, making the experience feel lazy and uninspired. While some found the gameplay functional, it ultimately fails to engage due to poor writing and a lack of innovative design.

    • “Gameplay is good, a few grammatical errors during speech but honestly not many.”
    • “The gameplay consists of going through evidence and witnesses prior to slamming down on your gavel to officially initiate the trial.”
    • “Though the audio very much clinches this for me as it's that annoyingly repetitive type most of these games have (probably free.) I tried giving this game a second chance, then I realized the main mechanic for the court scene was just remembering which dialogue trees make the court angry and avoiding those.”
    • “If you ignore the bad writing (for a story-focused dialogue game), the game mechanics are also pretty bad and tedious.”
    • “It feels a bit like they stole some of the game mechanics from other similar games without being aware of what made those games good or fun.”
    • “Though even with a proper translation, the story content itself seemed pretty meh, and the game mechanics were just lame and lazy.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by simplistic 2D art assets that offer little improvement even when resolution settings are adjusted, resulting in a lackluster visual experience. While some players appreciate the rustic/noir art style, it has been compared to amateur illustrations, leaving many feeling that the overall graphics quality is disappointing and in need of substantial enhancements.

    • “With a rustic/noir art style, Femida leads you through a case in a courtroom.”
    • “To say something nice, I was fine with the art style, though it did seem a bit like WikiHow art.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
    • “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
    • “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally enjoyable for those who appreciate narrative-driven experiences, but it suffers from significant bugs and an outdated user interface reminiscent of classic point-and-click games, impacting overall stability.

    • “Fun if you enjoy reading a lot, but the game is buggy, and the UI feels like an old point-and-click game.”
    • “Quirky little title with multiple endings and seriously difficult choices to make, but it's buggy though.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, with rough writing and difficult-to-read font styles contributing to a frustrating experience. The game mechanics are also criticized for being cumbersome, detracting from the overall enjoyment, especially in a story-focused dialogue context.

    • “If you ignore the bad writing (for a story-focused dialogue game), the game mechanics are also pretty bad and tedious.”
    • “The writing is rough and the reading becomes tedious (the font style is a bit hard on the eyes).”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its intriguing plot and witty writing, which effectively engages players and enhances the overall experience.

    • “The plot is intriguing and the writing is funny.”
