Now that Legal Dungeon is available on the Nintendo Switch, you can rifle through police paperwork and pass on horrible charges anywhere you like.
In Legal Dungeon, it’s your job to parse the vital details in police paperwork to figure out how you should charge the people being accused. By digging through legal precedents, interview details, site screenshots, and notes about the case, you should be able to figure out what to do in these tangled situations. The emphasis, however, is on should in this game, though.
The law, as it turns out, can be applied in some chilling ways, which you’ll discover if you simply follow the input system and do what you’re told. Locking up a grandfather and his granddaughter for stealing free newspapers? If you follow through on what it seems like the system wants, you’ll do that. Well, that and even more disturbing things. As I said when I called it one of our Indie Stars of 2019, it shows us just how the law can be used to do some truly cruel things if the person in charge of it has no conscience. Or if they need to get arrests in order to get promotions at work.
Now, you can ruin people’s lives anywhere you go with this Switch release of Legal Dungeon. There’s not much new to see here, but for me, I was glad to have another excuse to experience the chilling things that can be done by someone who thinks they’re working with the law.
Legal Dungeon is available now on the Nintendo Switch and Steam.
