Legends of Justice

A detective drama in the shadows of Victorian London, 1897.

The game

The city remembers your choices

Legends of Justice is a narrative detective game set in a London that keeps its secrets close. Move between docklands, drawing rooms and police archives, gathering what can be proven.

An investigation is rarely unambiguous. Two witnesses may both be right, and what you choose to report determines which version becomes official.

The game unfolds in chapters, played at your own pace. No combat, no artificial urgency and nothing demanding attention without purpose.

Its tone is restrained and atmospheric. Music is sparse, sound is intimate, and the fog decides how much of the city you can see at once.
