I love the concept. However, the game does have some interface issues, including "next line" playing the previous line and clicking for testimony after it's complete throws a Java memory error (probably array index out of bounds) and crashes the game. Still an oddly interesting little concept. Great work.

Interesting game, but I ran into the same bugs as the people above. Also feel like it ended a bit abruptly, would have liked a bit more :)

Wishing I could have thought of that take on the theme!

After the funniness of the horse joke wore off, I found this one pretty cool. I think I agree that more horses to judge before the ending would've been cool, but it was fun to have a few mini moral dilemmas to consider. In paper's please I found there was always a bit of friction to have hard rules to follow that were clearly penalized. I quite prefer not having the rules be so explicit, and rather having to just make the judgement call. And love the art + ambience going on!!
