We're on target for our November release date. :D

In the meanwhile here's a preview of more of our UI systems:

Twelve Absent Men features an innovative take on game-ifying the rules of evidence! The unique use of witness testimony allows players to pit witnesses against each other – using one witness to challenge the credibility of another, poking holes in alibis and raising questions of who really committed the crime.

Twelve Absent Men has just been released on Android!  Beer!

Download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atreyugames.twelveabsentmen

Get ready to solve puzzles, confound witnesses and outwit the state prosecutor in this race to that crucial verdict: not-guilty!

Inspired by the legal drama genre, the game combines elements of satire and humour with the seriousness of a court of law. It is self-aware in following the “mythic” traits of legal dramas: that law is comedic, justice is swift, the right side always wins and judges have an (almost) infinite amount of patience.

Featuring:

- Objections, examinations, cross-examination, and key decision moments.
- Nine different endings.

- Ability to call up witnesses in the order you would like to examine them.
- Judge anger meter – with the possibility of being thrown out of court.
- The use of evidence to solve who really committed the crime.
