ATTORNEY ADVENTURE is a serious legal management simulator set in 2026. You're a public defender — overworked, under-resourced, and standing between your client and a verdict that could define the rest of their life. This isn't a courtroom drama. It's the whole job. --- MANAGE YOUR PRACTICE. MANAGE YOUR LIMITS. Every morning you get a fixed number of hours. How you spend them matters. Chase down a lead on the server logs. Prep your client for cross-examination. File a continuance before the window closes. Or take the meeting with the DA and see if there's a deal worth having. You can't do everything — and the cases don't wait. --- INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU LITIGATE The truth is buried in discovery documents, surveillance timestamps, and IT logs that nobody bothered to read. Your job is to find the evidence the prosecution doesn't want you to have — then figure out how to use it. Hidden exculpatory evidence changes everything. Miss it, and you'll never know what you left on the table. --- FIGHT BEFORE THE TRIAL EVEN STARTS The courtroom battle begins long before opening statements. File motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence. Challenge prior bad acts that have no business in front of a jury. Force Brady disclosures. Win a suppression hearing and the prosecution's case collapses before it begins. Lose one and your client walks in already looking guilty. --- NEGOTIATE OR GO TO TRIAL — AND LIVE WITH IT Plea bargaining is a tactical game of leverage and patience. Build your case strength. Read the prosecutor's style. Play your hand with the right tactics at the right moment — then decide whether the offer on the table is worth taking. Your client has an opinion. So does your supervisor. The clock is running. --- THE COURTROOM: EVERY STAGE, EVERY DECISION When you go to trial, nothing is scripted. Voir Dire — Seat the jury you can win with. Question the panel, expose hidden biases, deliver a mini-opening that reveals who's with you and who isn't. Then trade peremptory strikes with a prosecution that's doing the same math you are. Opening Statements — Set the narrative before the first witness takes the stand. Cross-Examination — The state's witnesses have a story. Your job is to find the cracks. Defense Case — Call your witnesses. Present your evidence. Fight for every point of credibility. Closing Arguments — You know what the jury saw. Now give them a reason to believe it. Deliberations — The jury retires and you wait. Respond to their questions through the judge. Decide whether to push for unanimity or let the deadlock stand. --- CONVICTION ISN'T THE END A guilty verdict doesn't close the file. Prepare the Pre-Sentence Investigation report. Collect character letters. Challenge criminal history points. Every mitigation action you take before the sentencing hearing is a month you might save. --- YOUR REPUTATION IS YOUR CAREER Judges remember how you carry yourself. Prosecutors remember whether you were straight with them. Clients talk. The bar association watches. Every case shapes how the next one plays out — the deals you're offered, the rulings that go your way, the clients who trust you with their lives. --- FEATURES - Full case lifecycle from first appearance through sentencing - Tactical plea negotiation system with prosecutor psychology and leverage mechanics - Deep investigation layer — discover hidden evidence that changes available strategies - Three-phase jury selection with cause challenges, mini-openings, and peremptory strikes - Pre-trial motions: suppression, in limine, Brady, Daubert expert challenges, prior bad acts - Jury deliberation simulation with juror notes, Allen charges, and deadlock mechanics - Post-conviction sentencing and PSI mitigation - Multi-dimensional reputation across judges, prosecutors, clients, and the bar - Career progression from junior public defender to private practice --- Mature content advisory: This game depicts realistic criminal defense work including violent crimes, custody, and the consequences of conviction.
