Hey everyone!

I'm Sergio, the owner of a small indie video game studio based in Florida and Madrid, Spain called Timeless Games with a team of 4 people, including myself. 3 years ago we started in the video game market with videogames for cell phones. We created four videogames in a year and a half - Hackrow, Dash Dreamer, Wizard Business and Flu Survival - but quickly realized that the cell phone market for videogames was over-saturated and it wasn't really where our passion lie, which was in creating stories and art through videogames, something that can really only be done through Steam and consoles.

So over the last 2 years we've changed directions and have been trying to break out into the PC and console market and are setting our sights on Steam and beyond. During this time, we've created 2 different video games that have both been chosen by PlayStation as finalists in the PlayStation Game Awards in Spain from over 450 projects presented.

In 2015 we presented "Law Paths", which is an homage to the "Ace Attorney" saga which everyone at Timeless Games LOVES and couldn't get enough of. The problem was, there weren't any other games with the same game play around (well, maybe Danganronpa a bit...) and we wanted more. We thought, if we want more, other fans would want more too, so we got to work on fixing that.

"Law Paths" has the same playable base as AA but with our own characters and new elements that separate it from its inspiration and make it unique. In the AA saga, there is only one linear plot line, whereas in our game the choices you make affect the whole plot line and possible endings. Players can choose the straight and narrow path, defending justice in the courtroom or choose the dark path, taking bribes and hiding the truth from coming out.

We've also added an attribute system that gives an RPG feel to the game, where players can customize those skills as they wish. For example, if the player increase their reputation, they will be allowed to make more mistakes in court before they fail the case. If they raise their charisma, the judge's patience (a new feature that add a timer to the cross-examinations) will be increased. Also, with a scoring system based in your performance in the cases (money earned), player can buy "courses" to raise their attributes even more.

There is a PC Demo available in English and Spanish here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/beigjo87hxy2320/LAW%20PATHS%20-%20KS%20-%20DEMO%200.97.rar?dl=0

Download it and try it. Judge it for yourself ( :udgey: ).

Thanks for the comments!

By the way we forgot to mention something in the Demo. We added a hint system that you can activate pressing the ! medal in the NOTES menu during a cross-examination.

You will get a orange warning when you need to press the witness to force them to change their statement, and a red warning when there is a contradiction in the statement.

Any feedback will be more that welcome :)

Oh yeah, there was one point in this demo where when I made a mistake, the judge talked in Spanish. Was this intentional?
