About the Game

Become wisecracking angel, Alex T Torney, as you begin a struggling legal career in the fiery pits of Hell. In a world where evidence is scarce and testimony is everything, sharpen your deductive skills as you solve your way through Alex's first round of cases, interrogating witnesses to see what they know, and catching out those looking to decieve you. When surrounded by pathological liars always remember, the detail's in the devils.

A narrative based deduction game, serve as prosecution and defence for a variety of clients, and solve your way through a series of legal cases by asking the right questions of the right people.
