Description

Burden of Proof is an upcoming visual novel/puzzle game inspired by works like Ace Attorney and Danganronpa. The game aims to combine 3D investigation mechanics with a courtroom challenge that forces you to think on your feet!

This trailer showcases the visual updates made since announcement, as well as a preview of investigation and courtroom gameplay. It is quite long, but it's meant to accurately represent what you'll be doing in this game--it's a Visual Novel at heart, but aims to break the formula by allowing you to explore the locations and show off your understanding of the crime scenes. A majority of your time will be spent investigating, talking to witnesses, and making a solid case in court through branching paths and puzzle solving. Burden focuses on giving you a series of challenging puzzles and interesting crimes that you must navigate around in order to survive during your time as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney.

As shown in the trailer, you will have the option to object to certain statements during court, and your decision will either help or harm your case. In addition, you will enter logic duels with your opponent in a series of rapid-fire questions that require you to plan your strategy for presenting your evidence. Finally, a unique mechanic to the VN genre allows you to control your character in a 3D environment to travel around the city and investigate the physical locations of the crime scenes. With the combined minds of both you and your assistant, Chloe, you'll be able to make sense of the traces left behind by the culprit and prepare yourself for your argument in the courtroom! The game is releasing Summer 2018 on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux.
