Has anyone played Trials Of Innocence (AA clone)? Want to discuss the choice presented in the ending...
I just finished the game and wow... this is easily the best AA clone I've played, easily beating out Murders on the Yangtze River. But besides my opinion on the game overall, I loved how the game makes the choice you make to >!present evidence or to hide the truth!< at the end feel impactful. I was genuinely conflicted between choosing the two despite knowing that I could reload and see where both choices would take me.
I felt the game did a great job building up to this single decision, and made it clear that both choices were valid. On one hand, every case up to this point was solved by pursuing the truth and sticking to the "law", but on the other hand, a lot of the ways the prior cases ended up getting resolved was by balancing facts in favor of social justice.
What did other people pick for the final choice? Personally after thinking it over a bit, I chose to >!avoid presenting the evidence, the reason being that I felt that all of the other cases in the game were resolved in the same way (e.g. the prosecution ends up providing leniency to the killer in chapter 1 because of the motivation for his actions and you bail out the doctor in chapter 2 because you know that despite what transpired that he did things ultimately for good). It felt genuinely tough to make that decision personally because doing that undermines the whole pursuit of the overarching mystery but at the same time, it felt right because I thought the rest of the game sets you up to realize that there is a difference in "law" and "justice."!<
