The UI in this game is top notch, it all looks amazing. I found the mind palace section a little hard to navigate, maybe instead of dropping laws into the judgement section you could have used a double click. You clearly put a lot of research into this entry, congrats.

What a great way to incorporate Viking laws into a game. I really enjoyed the gameplay and I found it really challenging to get the correct laws.

Thanks! I do think the difficulty could have used some tweaking, but alas not enough playtesting. Glad you enjoyed it (:

I actually really liked the experience of 1. case presentation, 2. available law combinations and 3. review the facts before rendering judgement. The UI was simple but clear (I’d recommend making the cluster labels permanent) and the cases were definitely challenging. That sax may haunt me forever, but the premise here is sound. Thanks for making this, and sharing!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I did an absurdly low amount of playtesting due to time, so I'm not surprised there are elements like the cluster labels that need some tweaks!
I'm not a musician at all but couldn't get a hold of one in time, so thus you've been subjected to the result, at least the music slider works xD

The music slider of mercy! 

Seriously, I harp on it only because the rest has stuck with me. The narrative wording for the cases really showed their complexity, and I think each one had a final line that set the stakes and tone. I also loved the description of women's divorce practices; that got us all cheering on this end.
