Fans of Ace Attorney-style games interested in an indie offering can now pick up Burden of Truth on Steam, a game from RobProductions available in PC, Mac, and Linux. Its developer describes it as “a court-based 3D adventure game” where you’ll have to fight for justice and emerge victorious in court.
The game has been released both independently and as part of the Debate & Deduction Bundle, which includes Paper Perjury, Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, and Pro Philosopher 2.
About Burden of Truth
Burden of Truth continues RobProductions’ iconic hybrid-genre experience with third person investigations and challenging logic puzzles that test your knowledge of each case. Explore the crime scene as you survey full 3D environments for traces of the culprit. Collect evidence and make surprising deductions via the new tagging system, which highlights more information about the status of each clue. Hold people accountable by tracking the source of each item added to the court record, or utilize on-hand items to get out of dangerous situations.
Then, make your case in the courtroom by cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence that favors your argument. As legal counsel, you get to choose when to object and when to hold back, but be warned; the judge and his counselors grow weary with every faulty step, so be sure to back up your claims with concrete proof. As you make choices that affect the course of the trial, new discoveries can be made that contradict previous testimony. With logic as your weapon, search for the erroneous statement within the witness’ assertions and take the fight to them!
