Evaluation

Sort of Justice - Chapter 1 is a free-to-play adult visual novel that launched on Steam on August 16, 2024. The Steam version serves as a demo of the first chapter of a planned multi-chapter story. On October 16, 2025, the developer posted an explicit update explaining the release strategy: the full season will consist of approximately 4-5 chapters, and future chapters are being developed and released individually — but only through the game's Discord server, not on Steam. The Steam page will not receive updates until the entire season is finished, at which point it will be updated with the complete package. This means the Steam version is intentionally frozen as a demo/preview. The full game is actively in production, with additional chapters planned and already being distributed outside Steam. Players who want access to each chapter as it releases need to join the developer's Discord.
Evidence
Developer announced that no further Steam updates will be made until the entire season (approximately 4-5 chapters) is complete. Future individual chapter releases are happening exclusively via Discord. The Steam version will act as a demo in the meantime.

About this game

Work in Progress

This is the DEMO version of the game!

There will be no further updates until the whole season is completed

This game is currently still in development.

Future chapters will be released one by one, but not on Steam. (Check Discord)

You are a man with no particular goals or ambitions. Living through each day like the previous one. Perhaps the only thing that keeps you motivated each day is your co-worker, whom you consider your best friend.

However, your life takes a dark turn when she frames you for a crime you didn't commit. After seven years in prison, you are released with the ambition to seek revenge on your backstabber. You enter the world of crime and violence, encountering many different personalities, both friends and foes. Along the way, you slowly learn that not everything is as it seems.

Choices... matter

Sort of Justice is a semi-kinetic adult visual novel. While there are no choices that can affect the plot, there are choices that can affect relationships between you and the characters. This means some choices might enable/disable dialogues, renders and animations in the future.

Action Packed

This game is strongly defined by its action elements. Expect constant gunfights, intense foot and car chases, thrilling hand-to-hand combat, and potentially more weapon play in the future. The goal is to effectively utilize the "visual" aspect of visual novels and create a unique immersive experience for players.

Intricate World Setting

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Underneath the surface of our society, lies a foundation that may as well uphold the operation of the entire world. You think the world is run by the government? Well, ask yourself this. Who's running the government?

Romance

For those who love engaging in romantic relationships with fictional characters, this game got you covered. In this game, you will encounter many different love interests with unique personalities and backstories. Uncover their secrets and work to gain their trust. However, if you find the chemistry between you and any one of these love interests lacking, it is your choice whether you want to develop this relationship further.

Immersive Experience

The primary goal of this game is to immerse the player into the story as much as possible. To do this, I had to create and gather images, music and sound effects that complement each other.

Here's a summary of Chapter 1's content:

  • Render Images - 1,088

  • Animation - 5

  • Music - 19

  • Sound Effects - 112
