Jury service is a short horror game in which you play as a "Justice Authenticator".

Story:

The year is 2065, the world has been taken over by a dystopian oppressive government of unknown origin.  You arrive at your new mandatory job position in the department of justice, however your first day doesn't go nearly as smoothly as you'd like it to.

Notes:

Jury service was developed in about 6 days for the Brackeys 2022.2 game jam. Sorry about some of the low quality but I had some issues with github. This was also my first experience with making a 3d game. Sorry if there are any spelling errors I was rushing a lot.

I played this on stream a couple days ago and WOW I loved it!  My chat did as well!  This was super impressive especially for a gamejam.  Awesome work.  You can watch my playthrough around 1:35:00 here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1576424014

Would love to have you pop in chat one day!  We're all about supporting indie devs and would love to meet you.

Thanks for playing, to be honest I wasn't really expecting this to make it into any online media other than this page but it's really cool to see other people playing it. I did put a lot of work into this project in the time that I had for the Jam but I had to cut out a lot of what I originally intended to be in the game. What I will probably do is add a little more polish to this version of the game, nothing huge but I wanted to make it fade between scenes and after you die, but I had like 10 hours until the deadline and unity was having some errors.

Anyway after I do that if I have any spare time I will probably create another version of the game. Im not really sure if it will be a sequel, or something entirely new, but I want to add a lot more gameplay elements so it isn't literally just office job simulator. It also shouldn't be in a game jam which means I won't have to pull a 12 hour work session just to get it finished in time.

Anyway thanks for playing and enjoying it.

Cool game. The concept of an oppressive government isn't new, but still one of my favorite tropes and I really liked the way you set the tone for it with the propaganda posters and emails and such. The only thing I'd suggest you change (if you decide to add updates) is the wait time between pods coming in, at first I thought maybe the game glitched but eventually, I caught on.
Overall intriguing short dystopian horror.

yeah about the wait time, i was going to add in a minigame originally but i ran out of time, i think if i were to continue with this idea i would change the focus from prosecuting people, to investigating them and then charging them, thanks for the feedback.
