About the Game

Femida - a nonlinear point-and-click indie game about justice where you play the role of a judge. Story-driven decision-based detective game experienced from a unique perspective.

The videogame is set in a dystopian world of the State. The State has recently undergone a violent revolution and rapidly restructures. In a year, it transitioned from a totalitarian regime and now struggles to establish a republic. Provisional Government lustrated most of the public servants so the capital needs fresh blood. You win the Labor Lottery to work at Metropolis(pretend you read these names for the first time), the capital of the State. The hero, Demian Mardoch, accepts the summon leaving countryside life with his wife and kids back in the Town. The transfer to Metropolis promises a fulfilling job, good money, and many opportunities. You were born there, your mother still resides in the capital and works for the government. But it's not the only reason you accepted the offer. Your father disappeared during the revolution and his fate is still unknown to this day.

Judge & Detective

The game has 2 layers: your job as a judge and your personal investigation into what happened to your father.

Judge's duty
The first layer is your job. This is NOT an accurate simulation of what a judge's job is. It is a fictionalized distillation of it. We didn't aim for realism, we want you to have fun doing it.


Hero's duty
The latter layer is about your investigation into the fate of your father. This part will look like a quest or... you can call it a visual novel. Not a weird one, we promise...or maybe not.

Features

  • Do you like moral dilemmas and complicated decisions in games? How about a game filled with them?
  • The story is tailored by your choices. Well, not really but there are from 4 to 7 endings depending on how you count.
  • Only one good ending and it's a challenge to achieve it.
  • Dark and puzzling plot with plenty of room for theorizing and guessing.
  • You don't have to constantly suck up to different sides like in other similar games.
  • The hero doesn't make conclusions on his own. The final call is always up to you.
  • However, the hero has his own personality, so you perceive the world not objectively but through his eyes.
  • Find your father. We know you liked a thousand plots about it before.
  • Read the reactions to your sentences and learn what's happening in 3 newspapers, each with different points of view. The most trusted news sources in the State.
  • Keep in touch in your family by writing letters. At least here she will text you first.
  • You can call people using an oddly satisfying rotary dialer.
  • Dating sim. You can cheat on your spouse and...something will happen.
  • Try human flesh or become food for worms if you aren't careful.
  • Old fashioned Quest/text adventure. NOT a visual novel, but maybe...
  • Politically incorrect and dark humor.
  • Original Judge Simulator. Femida was started back in 2016.

    Depressed mind suffering from a neurological condition produced this mysterious, at times horrifying, at times surreal, story. The game initially had no good ending, only later getting one and being only fully flashed out after recovering from the mental health issues.

    Note:

    The universe of Femida is generalized and draws inspiration from different cultures and historical events. We don't make allusions to any particular real-life political parties or figures, nor do we promote any political message. The game illustrates corruption, confirmation bias, prejudice, the presumption of guilt.

I was a little taken aback by the reviews of Femida that talked about the bad translation. That was naive on my part, because the whole game is reading and there's clearly so much built into the nuances of your decisions, but all of the finer points are lost in translation.

I highly recommend to get all endings. When you get the entire picture - it changes everything.

This is the best court simulation ever! The story is even better. It's really satisfying to see how your decisions impact the world and the plot. The devs keep polishing the game. The bugs and errors are getting fixed.

Why there is no russian language support? I guess the script was translated from russian to english, but why there is only english version? Also, there are some grammatical mistakes, bad styling, UI design is not so good. I hope you will continue working on this project, because present state of the product is not satisfactory for me.

This game looks and sounds like a free to play web game (very 2000s newgroundsy to me.) But, it's on steam and costs money for some reason. The writing and dialogue is pretty awful. Lots of typos just literally everywhere, and trying to ignore that. The content of the writing itself just isn't very good. As the writing is pretty key to this game, this makes it a pretty bad game. If you ignore the bad writing (for a story focused dialogue game,) the game mechanics are also pretty bad and tedious. It feels a bit like they stole some of the game mechanics from other similar games without being aware of what made those games good or fun. Maybe that's why I get the vibe of web game that someone stuck a price tag on. Though the audio very much clinches this for me as it's that annoyingly repetitive type most of these games have (probably free.) I tried giving this game a second chance, then I realized the main mechanic for the court scene was just remembering which dialogue trees make the co...

Interesting litigation cases. Non-trivial. I think I was a fair judge. I hope...) The game will tell you ;) And of course, this is not just a simulator, here is a very good main story!

The game and the DLSs are worth every penny! Each case in the game is deep and raises important questions about morality. Most of the game is reading, btw. No bugs for me. I will certainly come back to play it again later to get all the endings. 10 winning court rulings/10

I recommend to buy it now while it's on sale and play after the issues have been resolved. Voted for this gem when it was going through Greenlight. There are some issues, but the devs update the game everyday. The story is great, but there are few grammatical errors.
