Demos continue apace, this one's a must-play I think! It's a courtroom drama in the vein of Ace Attorney, about a team of audacious Indian lawyers who are trying a corporation for the murder of their local river.
Instead of borrowing Phoenix Wright's point and click adventure format, investigation and argument here are handled as an elaborate card game. Finding evidence, cultivating witnesses, and developing rhetorical strategies all net you new cards for your deck, and you progress through conversations and court trials by connecting cause and effect cards from the top of the screen to the bottom. There's also a neat time management component, where you have to follow hunches to pick and choose missions for your limited team of three.
It's kind of a lot to take in, and frankly I'm not 100% convinced that it'll cohere into something that feels purposeful. But its attempt to systematize conversation is unlike just about anything I've ever seen, and it doesn't hurt that the core cast and anti-corporate conceit are immediately super appealing.
