About This Game

Burden of Truth is the next entry in the Burden of Proof saga, marking the return of this grand courtroom adventure! Experience the missing chapter from the original story which has been restored & fleshed out into a full game. Gather evidence by investigating the crime scene, find contradictions in the courtroom, and confront the truth with everything you have!



One year after his mentor's poisoning, renowned prosecutor Conrad Cross accepts a new case tangled in a web of conspiracy. In order to determine the true culprit, Cross and his opponent, Kate Flocking, engage in a battle of wits and piece together the incident by analyzing the available evidence. However, this objective proves difficult to accomplish when it's revealed that a mysterious organization is interfering with the flow of information to the courtroom. Even so, the legal counsel is determined to persevere through these limitations and expel the lies by uncovering contradictions within the witness' statements. To deliver justice, someone must be found guilty.



But as the trial winds down, an unsettling situation unfolds when a mysterious figure informs Cross that his childhood friend, Sarah Fletcher, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. At the same time, the dangerous rebellion group 209 Dive mounts an assault to retrieve the Zero Data, a database of information that could plunge the world into nuclear war if it falls into the wrong hands. Knowing that Sarah could never be responsible for the heinous crime she's accused of, Cross must turn his entire mindset around to become the defense attorney that his friend deserves. As the only person capable of saving Fletcher and preventing the catastrophic consequences of the Zero Data's exposure, Cross must enter a deadly trial that could very well determine the fate of the world.



Burden of Truth continues RobProductions' iconic hybrid-genre experience with third person investigations and challenging logic puzzles that test your knowledge of each case. Explore the crime scene as you survey full 3D environments for traces of the culprit. Collect evidence and make surprising deductions via the new tagging system, which highlights more information about the status of each clue. Hold people accountable by tracking the source of each item added to the court record, or utilize on-hand items to get out of dangerous situations.



Then, make your case in the courtroom by cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence that favors your argument. As legal counsel, you get to choose when to object and when to hold back, but be warned; the judge and his counselors grow weary with every faulty step, so be sure to back up your claims with concrete proof. As you make choices that affect the course of the trial, new discoveries can be made that contradict previous testimony. With logic as your weapon, search for the erroneous statement within the witness' assertions and take the fight to them!



The outcome of the case is in your hands. As such, the burden lies with you to deduce the truth and deliver justice for those that have been wrongly accused!
