JudgeSim

JudgeSim puts you in control of more than just a courtroom. It places you at the intersection of morality, law, and survival in a fragile republic where every verdict could be your last. As the legal authority of Banana Republic—a nation gripped by unrest, criminal syndicates, and propaganda—you’ll navigate difficult cases. How you deliver justice will determine your fate, and that of those around you.

Inside the Court: Your Bench, Your Burden

JudgeSim challenges players to take on daily trials using reasoning, ethical judgment, and sharp instincts. The game’s interface is driven by reading and dialogue—minimal graphics, maximum pressure. Every detail matters, and no judgment is without weight.

• Open the Case File: Each day brings a new dossier with statements, records, and hints of deeper motives.
• Direct Questioning: Uncover inconsistencies by interrogating defendants. Spot lies or gaps in testimony.
• Deliver Your Verdict: Sentence harshly or show mercy. Your choices ripple throughout the game world.

There are no easy decisions. JudgeSim requires you to weigh legality against humanity—under intense scrutiny.

What Lies Outside the Courtroom Walls?

The courtroom is only half the battle. In JudgeSim, your life off the bench affects how well you serve on it. The game introduces systems that shape how you interpret the law and manage personal stress.

1. Sanity: Stress builds. Spend resources to recover or risk mental breakdowns that cloud your rulings.
2. Money: Low pay tempts shady choices. Bribes and gambling may help—or trap—you.
3. Threat Levels: Dangerous rulings increase your risk of assassination or imprisonment. Stay alert.

Even the best judges fall if they ignore their life outside the court. Success means balance, not perfection.

Modes for Every Kind of Jurist

JudgeSim offers two main gameplay paths that suit different playstyles and challenge levels:

• Main Campaign: A structured experience filled with evolving threats, political pressure, and complex cases.
• I’m the Law Mode: A rule-free sandbox where your ethics alone guide your judgments, with no UI limits.

Both modes reward replay. There’s no fixed path—just the one you carve through law, corruption, and conscience.

Memorable Cases and Secret Endings

JudgeSim’s hand-crafted trials offer emotional weight and thematic variety:

• Personal Conflicts: Family disputes, social tensions, and ambiguous motivations keep you guessing.
• Political Trials: Judging high-profile figures or dissidents may boost your fame—or end your run.
• Narrative Consequences: Set a murderer free, and they may return. Justice always has a price.

Multiple endings—retirement, exile, madness, or death—make each playthrough personal and unforgettable.

Pro Tips to Keep Your Robe Clean

1. Take Your Time: The most obvious ruling isn’t always right. Think before you sentence.
2. Manage Sanity Early: Recharging late can cost you dearly. Pace yourself from the start.
3. Corruption Isn’t Always Evil: Some dirty money may buy your safety—if used wisely.
4. Read Carefully: Missed details in early documents often resurface in shocking ways.
5. Switch Modes: Master the campaign first, then dive into sandbox judgment challenges.

JudgeSim isn’t about winning—it’s about enduring. Your greatest tools are insight, empathy, and resolve. Each day on the bench is a chance to uphold justice—or fall victim to its failure. If you’re ready to walk the tightrope between order and chaos, JudgeSim will test what kind of judge you truly are.
