About This Package

Public Defendant


Public Defendant is a multiplayer social-deduction courtroom game where you deliberate on cases and decide the fate of people caught up in the book. 

The only issue: you're both working with in-complete information

Hold your cards close, until they're the right ones

Take the stand and watch justice as it's served cold and apathetically.

 
Hit the book on the accused as the Prosecutor.

Protect justice as the Defense
 
or
 
Hear the facts and decide the defendant's fate as a Juror

This is an Alpha build: Features are not guaranteed to remain as is or at all.
