I do really like the premise, but like others have stated, the writing is a bit poor and unfortunately, there are laughable mistakes here and there. I wrote this review while still in the court scene because I feel like it encapsulates the issues the author has to iron out. For example, why is the detective also the prosecution? Why is the judge announcing himself as a Bailef would? I gave this game a 4 because I'm hoping it cleans up the writing. The author literally just has to watch an episode of Judge Mathis to make the game make more sense.
Edit - After finishing build (0.17), I will say I do somewhat like the characters. For example, my protag got sent to solitary and one of the first things she did, was start working out. I hope the author explores this defiant/proactive side of the protagonist in future releases.
