The Kill Petition

The law has failed the people.

The masses had taken to delivering justice themselves with their own hands- and a very well-placed knife. To cull chaotic justice and vigilantes, the government had passed a new law in place: The Kill Petition. 

Anyone is allowed to file a request, petitioning for someone's execution with attached files and evidence that would justify killing their target- Anything to convince others. If it reaches a certain threshold of signs at a specific time, the person in question will be eligible for execution. 

You are a prosecutor. Your job is to condemn those petitioned in a trial. It was a cakewalk, but some strings are pulled, and you’ve now found yourself dancing to someone else’s tune. 

Will you follow the will of the people, the will of those lurking behind the scenes, or will you stand for what you believe is right? 

Features

In this game, you play as a prosecutor:

• Customize personality, appearance, and moral boundaries. 
• Customize background and motivations.
• Investigate different cases that act as a story arc, with different choices and outcomes depending on how you handle the trial.
• Interact with (And maybe romance) different characters, be it your co-worker, your rival, your neighborhood nosy troublemaker(s), or even your defendant.
• Peel back the veneer and uncover just how filthy your country’s judicial system is.

Characters

1. You: A prosecutor that specializes in kill-petition cases. 

You were famous (or was it infamous?) for winning against charismatic criminals with a squeaky clean record ala Ted Bundy or influential and powerful people in power. Eyes are on you, and targets are on you.

2. Lucy 'Luddy' Deniz [She/her]: The Assistant Prosecutor 

She's been with you through thick and thin with a penchant for holding a vendetta against most people you (were forced) to work with. 

3. Hector Z. [He/they]:  The nosy reporter. 

He’s made it their life-long mission to cover every one of your ongoing cases- And to leak any juicy information they could get their grubby hands on.

Romance

1. Samudra 'Sam' Sagala [He/him]: Your rival lawyer 

He’s somehow fated to always go against you in court. So far, your record against him was a win at 13:11. You won't let it turn into a tie. And he’s finding any way possible to get that tie. 

2. Eva Friedmann [She/they]: The defendant. 

She's been acquitted 4 times already with very different charges. All four times with you as the prosecutor and Sam as her lawyer. 

3. Morgan Choi [He/him]: The nosy private detective 

He specialized in investigating affairs and compiling other people's dirt. God knows how he kept getting himself entangled in every one of your cases these past few months. 

4. Roxx De Leon [They/them]: A serial petitioner with a six-kill-streak. 

They’re not a paragon of virtue. They simply know the right person to pick, and the right things to say. Now: Is it time to put a stop to their streak, or are you going to quench their thirst for justice blood?
