Judge Simulator is a decision-based courtroom game where players take on the role of a presiding judge handling a range of fictional legal cases. The main focus is on making thoughtful, law-driven decisions based on evidence, witness statements, and legal procedures. Rather than focusing on action or speed, the game challenges players to evaluate situations carefully and apply judgment under realistic conditions.

Analyzing Evidence and Issuing Verdicts

Each session in Judge Simulator presents a new case with its own background, participants, and legal details. Players review case files, read witness reports, and examine evidence before entering the courtroom. Once the trial begins, players listen to testimonies, raise objections, and ultimately decide guilt or innocence. Every verdict is final and has consequences that affect both the virtual defendants and the reputation of the judge.

Integrity Versus Pressure

Beyond interpreting facts, Judge Simulator presents moral and political pressure. Some cases include external influence—such as public opinion, media attention, or expectations from higher officials. Players must choose whether to rule strictly by the book or allow external factors to influence decisions. These choices shape how the judge is perceived, and over time, they affect what types of cases appear and how characters react to rulings.

Visual Style and Trial Structure

The game uses clean 2D visuals with stylized courtroom interiors, legal documents, and character portraits. Dialogues unfold in a structured format, simulating real trial progression without overwhelming legal jargon. Each case is self-contained, allowing for short or extended play sessions depending on the player’s pace. The user interface is built around reading, choosing responses, and monitoring case progress through an intuitive layout.

Core elements of Judge Simulator:

•         Case-by-case decision-making based on law and ethics
•         Options that balance professional duty and outside influence
•         Multiple outcomes tied to the judge’s ruling history
•         Simplified courtroom mechanics for accessible legal gameplay
•         Stylized visual design with clear information flow

It presents law as a system of interpretation, requiring players to think critically, apply logic, and reflect on the weight of their authority from the judge’s bench.
