Beautiful and intriguing
From the very beginning, the game is very interesting. You can be a fair judge, but sentencing an innocent person to death can help your own political career. This contrast with moral choices is great! Additionally, the artwork in the game is absolutely magnificent.

A Good Game with a Horrible Ending
I was initially very positive on this game. I thought the courtroom mechanics were fun enough. True, it could be deeper, and the "associations" you have to make between the key parts of the indictment can be a bit illogical, but this is the core of the game and it is what kept me coming back to play more. Each individual trial was entertaining, as some defendants are clearly guilty, others clearly innocent, and some more dubious. I preferred to see if I could maneuver to have a just outcome without angering any of the factions too hard. Playing this way made me invested in the cases far more than just seeing whose bar goes up or down and deciding a case solely on those grounds. I also really enjoyed the intrigue system once I actually figured it out. Moving units around to gain more of those valuable influence points, one day at a time, felt satisfying. Plus the individual intrigue subplots I found interesting. Other reviews complain about your choices not affecting the story, but your choices here (and their success or not) do impact how the intrigue actually plays out. Unfortunately, these good aspects completely disappears in Act 3. Instead, the bulk of Act 3's gameplay is a sort of battle system where you prepare a group of soldiers to defend a space. There's many problems here: the game barely explains the benefits of different unit types; it explains nothing about the tactics you employ; it becomes a greater focus than the trials and replaces the intrigue system entirely; and worst of all, it's simply not fun to play. Each battle's outcome feels like it's mostly the result of RNG, which is problematic when even one loss can make the map nearly-impossible to defend. Speaking of RNG, which of the two endings you get is entirely dependent on a luck-based minigame. Even the "good" ending is unsatisfying, while the bad ending feels like a slap in the face. I wouldn't begrudge anyone if they stopped playing during Act 3 and just watched the ending online.

Great potential utterly wasted
The beginning is very promising. The court simulator, with some politics in the background, trying to make the work-family balance work. However, it all falls victim to several tremendous flaws, of which the greatest is the writing. Calling it mediocre would be a compliment. It is illogical, naive, ruins the atmosphere, and has no sense of logic or continuity. In a game where so much emphasis is put on making choices, the actual choices you make DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING. Everything will be just railroad down the utterly stupid path someone else came up with. The interesting mechanics of persuasion and battle prove to be shallow and deeply flawed after two or three attempts. Later on, it just becomes a chore (thank the gods for the option to auto play the battles, I would uninstall the game much earlier if it was not there). And, lastly, dice. A complete random element with more impact on the story than the player's decision. Seriously?! All in all: avoid, even at a bargain price. It's not worth your time.

Unexpected depth and length
I saw some youtube early plays, and never expected such a long and well detailed story. Every time you think you know what happens next the game kicks you in stomach, hard, and in a good way. Unique. Play it.

Une déception pour moi
Après plusieurs heures de jeu, il est temps que mon verdict tombe : je suis décu par ce jeu. Et pourtant ca faisait des mois que je l'attendais. On nous vendait des choix moraux ambigus, un aspect gestion et tour par tour ainsi qu'une histoire alletante mais je n'ai pratiquement rien retrouvé de tout cela. Les affaires s'enchâinent sans que l'on soit vraiment affecté par le sort de l'accusé (on choisit en fait la sentence selon l'influence que l'on va gagner avec les factions, la vérité osef), l'aspect gestion et tour par tour n'arrive que bien tard et se retrouve finalement bien minime et quand à l'histoire, je la trouve floue et confuse. Cependant je ne peux que saluer tout le travail réalisé par les dévellopeurs pour recréer l'ambiance de la révolution francaise sans compter que le studio est polonais et que c'est toujours intéressant de voir un avis extérieur. Oui mais voilà je reste quand même sur ma faim. Peut être que ce jeu n'était pas fait pour moi après tout, mais ayant adoré Papers Please (auquel le jeu est souvent comparé) je n'ai pas réussit à retrouver le frisson de la culpabilité que je ressentait en tant que garde frontière alors que là on est quand même un juge révolutionnaire ! Dommage... Le PB en fait c'est que j'ai du mal à saisir les conséquences de mes actes. Mais bon quitte à payer pour un jeu qui me décoit je préfère que ce soit dans ce genre d'initiatives que dans des grosses machines. Mais ça reste quand même dommage^^
