Master Magistrate - Robert@Hobibox
Master Magistrate is finally out of Early Access! Our warmest thanks to everyone who's supported the game.
The full story is available now, with all its twists and turns.
In each case, you meet suspects and fraternize with allies and enemies before moving between different locations and interviewing witnesses to piece together more evidence. Finally the case comes to trial and, as prescribed by historical Japanese law, you preside as magistrate—judge and jury in one—to uncover the truth and bring justice to the criminal. A samurai’s best weapon may be his sword, but the magistrate’s words are his weapon.

The Story
Chapter 1: Ouka Riot
Meet the people of Oukacho, the samurai police of the shogunate, and the warrior vigilantes of the Shinsengumi. A young girl is found covered in blood—standing over the gory corpse of a ferryman, brutally murdered in his own home. How did she do it? Could she somehow be innocent? And if she didn't do it—who did?Chapter 2: Burnout Engine
When a fire breaks out in a residential building, the Magistrate's Office's star mechanic Rimu is there to save the day. In the aftermath, though, it falls to the magistrate to investigate the cause. A sushi salesman, a petty brigand, and Rimu's mentor all witnessed the fire, but can you cut through the flames of confusion and lies and sift truth from the ashes?Chapter 3: Tempered Steel
The town's biggest moneylender is dead in his basement, and the town's most famous thief is back from the dead and admitting to the crime. Is he telling the truth? What could he be hiding, and why? And why has a man who should have been executed spent the last sixteen years in a dungeon?Chapter 4: Shogun’s Justice
A series of atrocities roils the city. Could the roots of conspiracy stretch deeper still into the past—and wider in the present? Can those roots be severed or will they strangle the future—and nourish themselves on the magistrate’s blood?
