Take charge as Ned Kelly, once Australia's most infamous outlaw and now one of the last lines of defence for souls drifting between Heaven and Earth. As an attorney for the dead, you will see their every sin laid bare at trial and prove with their whole life as evidence that they can be redeemed. Alongside your apprentice Azazel, a newly fallen angel, the secrets of Purgatory will be yours to unravel. 
Set in 1918 at the tail end of the Great War, Outlawyer will take you on an adventure through the realm of Purgatory as you work to uncover mysteries and defend the dead from eternal damnation. Ned's work doesn't end in the courtroom, though; you'll brave the streets of the afterlife and the perils of others who fell short of Heaven just like you.
