Gameplay
The object of the game is to solve a case. Cases are solved in a point-and-click interface. The other goal is that prove worthy for a law firm. Information about the case must be gathered. When ready, the case is taken to court. During court, there is a choice of whom to speak to and which evidence to give.[1] The first such case is called "The Wrathful Race" involving a man accused of vehicular homicide. The judge may, for example, allow a continuance in order for the defense to gather evidence, but 9 hours (this is simulated elapsed time and not actual elapsed time) may be the maximum time allowed to review evidence and interview the widow, the medical examiner, a private investigator, etc. before the case will be brought to court. The judge will typically not allow the player, acting as the defense, to object to a statement by the prosecution if he or she is permitted to establish the evidence and the date and time the alleged crime was committed. A defense composed merely of an assertion by the defendant that the victim was a bad driver and died due to his own negligence, is usually insufficient, because it does not refute that the defendant knew about the accident and willingly left the scene.
