About the game
Until Proven Guilty is a narrative co-operative game inspired by court-themed visual novels, television series, and video games. In the game, you take on the role of Peter, a brilliant lawyer who's still a rookie, yet now involved in complicated criminal trials. Can you help Peter defend his client? Each turn, read the trial card and choose an evidence card to refute it. Enter the evidence number into the web app and read the result: if it's correct, some jurors will side with you, and you can continue in the trial; if it's wrong, some jurors may side with your opponent, and you will have to try again. Depending on the evidence you choose, you may even receive personalized answers! —description from the publisher
