Liked the concept and as others have said the hand-drawn menu is really cool. The game fits the theme as well.
Some general ideas, that popped to my head:
maybe it would be interesting to have the drugs be part of the game some more? Like you have the lines under the table to snort, but if you decide not to, you get signs of withdrawal: paranoia, can't focus, some irritating noise etc. If you take another line, momentarily you are  hyper focused, but the more you take the more you get messed up so you try to balance it, but there really isn't good balancing with these things, so yeah.. :D
Fun game overall!

such a funny concept and you can expand this in a lot of ways if you wanted! was having a hard time with the browser version. I downloaded the windows version and performance was fantastic - this is a really cool game :D

Absolutely ridiculous and not really that great as a game, but it is some of the most fun I've had while playing games in this jam.

I love the hand-drawn style of the main menu.
The main character can snort blow... 'nuff said.

I had some trouble with the WebGL build losing track of my mouse, but got it working after a reload.
Lots of dialogue, it looks like there's a lot to this game. Well done <3

Really like the idea of the game for this jam. Sadly I somehow could not really play the game. slamming the hammer over and over again didn't start the trial and interacting with thing by pressing the prompt sadly also didn't do anything. But the visuals alone already kept me trying. 

Developer

Hello glad you liked the visuals and the concept. I sent a patch out that should fix the gavel not sending you to the next dialogue. If you slam the hammer in between the first two dialogues the game will have the scene not continue. The game will also automatically continue when you get to the later portion of the game. Thanks again!

Really awesome! I really like the take that u did here with the judge and everything. This is such a unique take and I just love it! I love how you can tell he's slowly going insane cos of what he consumed earlier. I love the humour in the game as well. The style of the game is also quite fitting! I do wish there were a more satisfying ending or if the game was a tiny bit longer but completely understandable in a game jam setting. Other than that, you guys did an amazing job!

The main menu is awesome, really juicy. For some reason, I had to replay it a few times because the scene would get stuck at a certain point. The concept is great, it’s fun to mess around with

Developer

Glad you liked it, I sent a patch that should fix the scenes bugging. Thank you for persisting !!

It was really cool! But sometimes it wasn't very clear, and I will definitely play more if it's more polished and has a bit more depth!

Hi ! I liked the atmosphere and dark humour of your game. The graphics and music support that well (Chopin for a drugged judge lol).

I found the controls a bit difficult to grasp at first but and I think the camera movement is a bit too sensitive, but otherwise I had fun. I'm not sure I understand the end perfectly but that's on me ><

the concept look cool but the game is not lauching on my navigator

Developer

Hi! If your launching in the navigator the very first launch can take a bit as its a bit bigger of a game. This is my friends and I first game jame so its bound to have problems haha
