About This Demo

What makes a prisoner? How different are the people we lock up from the people doing the locking up?

Set in a dystopian world where even small crimes are punished in permanence, visual novel Guilty As Charged! sees 20-year-old Alan Pierce fight to the death in a televised gameshow between 18 criminals where the winner not only keeps their life, but gains a huge cash prize – as well as their freedom.

Play alongside Pierce as he explores the dingy prison around him, competes in brutal challenges, and makes bonds with the other captors. As rough and tough as they may seem, circumstances are often more complex than society portrays them...

The Guilty As Charged! demo is a 15 minute slice of the action, showing off several characters and giving a taste of the foreboding yet wacky energy of the best 70s-themed prisoner death game... and maybe the only one... out there.

"The sanctity of life is a fragile creature. To protect ourselves from the darkest of futures, we must retain integrity within its deepest dwellings."

While sometimes silly in tone, this demo does showcase the death of a character at its end. The death itself is only implied by a red flash, not illustrated, but viewers should be aware in advance.
