Common gameplay
The games play as a hybrid of a word choice puzzle game and a beat em up as you play as lawyer, Maria Lawe as the game is split into two sections "the court" and "investigation". Investigation is a semi-open world where you explore areas to find evidence and possible side activities as the day ends when you return to your office after getting all the needed evidence. The investigations also allow you to both interrogate people and do combat as well as several evidence needs to be gathered through combat. The combat has you be able to do a light attack, heavy attack, a dodge and a counter as you can chain the attacks for combos. The second gameplay style is the Court where you have access to your evidence as you have to examine the witnesses' arguments and find out both lies and where evidence may fit.
