LMAOO I love the way you interpreted the jam's theme with an actual beholder,  may I say the judges wig truly a serve. The mix of a real life stock photo in with drawings was a pretty hilarious choice, especially when he shows up for the second time along with all the other characters. I liked how distinct the personalities were of the different characters, very nice work!

The tiny gavel for the cursor is such a fun little detail that brought me so much joy hehe

Oyeh!!

Lmao these jurors are beyond parody

This is possibly one of the most caricature-like portrayals of the plague of the prison industrial complex and american conservativism I've ever seen and that made it feel cathartic in a way, if highly simplified

I'm honestly not too sure what I think of the ending in its "situational usefulness" of these cretins, and overall the scene dressing was very minimal (but honestly that works in favor of the caricature-like mood)

The visual style certainly was unique and added a lot of charme

Hell yea

Excellent dialogue and commentary on the American "justice" system + conservative politics. I do like how manipulative the choices are. Sending the beholder to hell also scratches that itch to go, "To hell with the justice system!"

As a proud member of the university of the coalition of losers as a wise man once called us (true story), I found this game to be a scrum-diddly-yum-yum-yumptious peek into the absurdity and frankly nightarish conduct of our judicial system. Let's just say these are all devils I know, and you nailed them perfectly! I say this with love and care, but you transported me into my worst nightmare via your sound design, graphics, branching paths, and effects. "Mistrial!" I call. Whoops, seems like I'll simply have to play this game for the seventh time in a row........... what a shame [in a lying voice].... (•ˋ _ ˊ•)âš–

court is now in session, and i hereby decree that lore & order gets an oyeh! from me ^_^ i enjoyed playing through this very, very much!! the writing was very punchy and tongue in cheek, the ui was smooth and well suited for the game, the monsters were all depicted with their own unique charm (and the beholder was especially ugly), and the sound design completely popped off with the atmosphere. also the touches of visual effects really made the narrative bounce in the right places. put all of this together and lore & order is perfectly done, polished, and an amazing experience for something put together in 4 days! i eagerly went through all possible routes … and i think this will be popular opinion, but i def loved the one where you get your own little right-wing harem of daddy alpha protectors <3 dating sim version next please!

all the jurors had very distinct personalities and worldviews that anyone is no stranger to, but i think my favorite was the last one/the green one LOL. i’m actually attending the same university beloved conservative media icon ben shapiro is an alumni of AND he was invited on campus a few weeks back for some political speech slash debate so i was quite delighted to see the green juror ramble on and on about colleges getting infected with wokeness and leftism since that was like 40% of ben shapiro’s talking points haha. but enough about me! i also loved the setup too – it is just SO funny, ironic, and dark (watch out snowflakes) how the beholder/eldritch being’s favorite place to be is the US courtroom. really speaks a lot about the justice system we have lol…. i was almost recruited onto a jury actually on monday (as my goat cd-rr0m knows) so in another life i am the evil demon juror saving the hapless young eldritch horror and we share a cross-species beautiful romance as i flay their elder tormentor…. anyways, please drop a sequel!

Another game with literal beholders!  How fun!  I love the judge beholder's designs.  I cringed a lot reading the jurors' dialogue, what a bunch of right-wing wackjobs.  I assume that was your intention, but I found it unpleasant to read unfortunately.  Overall, a good game!

That was so much fun!! I loved the characters' strong personalities, and it was a ton of fun trying to get the different endings. The talking points were uncomfortably realistic 0.0
