❤ Gameplay Overview

The gameplay primarily involves investigation, evidence gathering, and presenting arguments in courtroom trials. Players follow the story of attorney Jayjay Falcon and his apprentice Sparrowson as they take on cases and defend clients in the courts of 1840s Paris.

❤ Investigation and Evidence Gathering

Players can explore various locations in Paris, each taking up one day of the in-game timeline. At these locations, players can click on interactable objects to observe and examine them, adding them to their evidence folder. Players must carefully manage their time, as there is a limited number of days before each trial. Deciding which locations to visit and which witnesses to interview is crucial, as the game does not provide clear indications of which pieces of evidence will be important. This creates an engaging sense of mystery and uncertainty, challenging players to use their deductive reasoning to determine the most promising leads.

❤ Courtroom Gameplay

During trials, players will cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, and make logical arguments to counter the prosecution's case. Unlike many visual novel games, this title does not feature a traditional "right or wrong" approach to courtroom gameplay. Even if players fail to secure a "not guilty" verdict, the story will continue, with the outcome affecting the later chapters of the narrative. This creates a sense of consequence and meaningful choice, as players must weigh the impact of their courtroom performance.

❤ Branching Narrative and Replayability

The narrative features multiple branching paths and endings, based on the choices players make during investigations and trials. The game encourages replayability, as different decisions can lead to vastly different outcomes, with three distinct main endings and numerous smaller variations. Players can easily jump back to previous days in the timeline, revisiting key moments and exploring alternative paths without the need to replay the entire game.
