Solo indie developer RobProductions has officially launched Burden of Truth, a 3D courtroom adventure game inspired by the Ace Attorney series. Now available on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux, the game challenges players to investigate crime scenes, collect evidence, and fight for justice in dramatic courtroom showdowns.
Fans of deduction-based adventures can also grab the game as part of the Debate & Deduction Bundle, which features other mystery hits like Paper Perjury, Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle, and Pro Philosopher 2. Meanwhile, the Burden of Truth Official Soundtrack will arrive on Steam on October 8, alongside a Deluxe Edition Bundle that combines the game and its music.
A Hybrid of Crime-Solving and Courtroom Drama
Burden of Truth builds on RobProductions’ hybrid-genre design, blending third-person crime scene investigations with logic-based courtroom puzzles. Players explore fully 3D environments to uncover hidden clues, utilize a new tagging system to track evidence, and connect seemingly unrelated details to expose contradictions.
When it’s time to step into court, players must cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, and strategically object at key moments. Every decision matters—push too hard without proof, and the judge’s patience may run out. The game’s branching choices ensure no two trials play out the same way, making every deduction a high-stakes gamble.

For players who crave detective work and courtroom drama, this indie release offers a fresh way to wield logic as your ultimate weapon.
