Marcin Makaj, a Polish lawyer specialising in criminal law, proclaims he is the very first lawyer making video games. Two weeks ago Marcin released his first law-themed video game "Bohemian Killing". Bohemian Killing is a narrative-driven courtroom drama, offering players almost unlimited possibilities of solving the lawsuit, thanks to the complete integration of gameplay and narrated story.
The game is both fun to play, and to teach players about criminal law (especially the 19th century french law), investigation, and criminal procedure. It also familiarizes players with some of the most notable cause célèbres from France (like The Dreyfus affair, Dominici affair, François Claudius Koenigstein, and more).
The story is set within two time frames. In the present, you find yourself locked up in the courtroom. You're getting acquainted with the evidence, witness testimony and questions posed by the Judge. Each question triggers a flashback - and begins your testimony. During the flashback you find yourself in a Parisian district, with each of your decisions, interactions and action affecting Alfred Ethons' testimony and the final verdict.
To help you in your testimony, you'll have access to all the evidence gathered on the case - expert opinions, reports and witness testimonies. Each of them can be (but doesn't have to be!) refuted in a number of different ways.
A preview of Bohemian Killing can be viewed on YouTube. The game is available for download here.
