A GOOD LAWYER'S NEVER OBSELETE.

There's a camera in every device and a half dozen devices on every citizen. There are tracking implants in every cybernetic and location tags on every bullet. No stone goes unturned- and every stone is accounted for.

Violent crimes are cleared in 97% of cases.

The few cases that make it to trial result in a guilty verdict 98% of the time.

Getting away with murder is nearly impossible.

So if you find yourself wrongly accused...

Better have the right lawyer.

CYBERPUNK MEETS HARDBOILED NOIR

of the Devil is a Visual Novel Adventure Game. 

Playing as both the street-savvy Criminal Defense Attorney Evangeline Morgan and the coldblooded Serial Criminal Heartbreak, you solve murder mysteries by examining crime scenes, gathering evidence, questioning persons of interest and ultimately defending your clients in court.

This demo includes the entirety of the prologue, where Morgan finds herself serving as Public Defender for the man who the police say has shot five people through the heart...and counting.

BRIGHT NEON, CURLING SMOKE, DARK MYSTERIES

Inspired by countless great Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Neo-Noir and Court Room Drama works, of the Devil combines the strengths of these genres to create thought-provoking murder mysteries full of suspense, black comedy, intrigue and charm.

With a stage set amidst the neon and mist soaked streets of 2086,  of the Devil fuses the hardboiled shading and spot blacks of 20th century Detective Comics with the expressive and colorful presentation of Manga to create a rich, vibrant, and velvety art style.

In game, you'll scour 3D crime scenes and question three-dimensional characters to gather the facts and build your case- But observation and curiosity are rewarded in other ways, too, and you'll find yourself collecting chat logs, in-world articles, and internet search terms (and their state-approved search results) allowing detail-oriented players to learn about the world of 2086 organically...Or at least as organically as possible in a world with this much artifice.

RICH WORLD, PERSONALITIES, AND STORIES

Dive into five fully-fledged episodic murder mysteries that will test both the heroes’ and your reasoning, observation, and intelligence.

You'll come up against towering mega-corporations and the vast masses of ruthless individuals whose job it is to keep them looking good.

You'll rub shoulders with old, dug in crime families, vying with one another over prestige and capital at high enough stakes to rock the global markets.

You'll get caught between digital revolutionaries and the great gears of progress they push back against, peel back the stage curtain on the lengths the rich and famous will go to to claw back their privacy and maintain their legacy...and see far more than you'd like to of the future that's being built by the "Evangelists" of a new today. 

Each case explores the evolving laws and norms of a world on the brink of a cybernetic revolution- From both inside the courtroom, and outside the arm of the law.
