About Burden of Truth
Burden of Truth is the next entry in the Burden of Proof saga, marking the return of this grand courtroom adventure! Experience the missing chapter from the original story which has been restored & fleshed out into a full game. Gather evidence by investigating the crime scene, find contradictions in the courtroom, and confront the truth with everything you have!
One year after his mentor's poisoning, renowned prosecutor Conrad Cross accepts a new case tangled in a web of conspiracy. In order to determine the true culprit, Cross and his opponent, Kate Flocking, engage in a battle of wits and piece together the incident by analyzing the available evidence. However, this objective proves difficult to accomplish when it's revealed that a mysterious organization is interfering with the flow of information to the courtroom. Even so, the legal counsel is determined to persevere through these limitations and expel the lies by uncovering contradictions within the witness' statements. To deliver justice, someone must be found guilty.
But as the trial winds down, an unsettling situation unfolds when a mysterious figure informs Cross that his childhood friend, Sarah Fletcher, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. At the same time, the dangerous rebellion group 209 Dive mounts an assault to retrieve the Zero Data, a database of information that could plunge the world into nuclear war if it falls into the wrong hands. Knowing that Sarah could never be responsible for the heinous crime she's accused of, Cross must turn his entire mindset around to become the defense attorney that his friend deserves. As the only person capable of saving Fletcher and preventing the catastrophic consequences of the Zero Data's exposure, Cross must enter a deadly trial that could very well determine the fate of the world.
Burden of Truth continues RobProductions' iconic hybrid-genre experience with third person investigations and challenging logic puzzles that test your knowledge of each case. Explore the crime scene as you survey full 3D environments for traces of the culprit. Collect evidence and make surprising deductions via the new tagging system, which highlights more information about the status of each clue. Hold people accountable by tracking the source of each item added to the court record, or utilize on-hand items to get out of dangerous situations.
Then, make your case in the courtroom by cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence that favors your argument. As legal counsel, you get to choose when to object and when to hold back, but be warned; the judge and his counselors grow weary with every faulty step, so be sure to back up your claims with concrete proof. As you make choices that affect the course of the trial, new discoveries can be made that contradict previous testimony. With logic as your weapon, search for the erroneous statement within the witness' assertions and take the fight to them!
The outcome of the case is in your hands. As such, the burden lies with you to deduce the truth and deliver justice for those that have been wrongly accused!

Burden of Truth had a lot of fun callbacks to Burden of Proof, so definitely play that first (it’s…difficult…to get through but it only gets better as the game goes on). I recommend BoT but if I’m being perfectly honest, the second to last case long outstays it’s welcome. It’s just a string of witnesses perjuring themselves all the way through, which I guess is what Ace Attorney does, but when coupled with the fact that there is no relief from the overarching plot, it’s not the most engaging. Repeated references to conspiracies and shadowy bad actors (which Ace Attorney is definitely guilty of) left me conspiracy-numb. I just did not care anymore and wanted the trial to be over. It didn’t help that the same characters showed up to testify in many of the cases, making the slog feel even longer. I ended up putting down my steam deck and just not playing any games for a few weeks because I insisted (to myself) that I had to finish BoT before playing anything else. Ultimately not a smart choice because the last case was great, it’s just that second to last one that was tedious and in such large portions. Literally the diamond mining meme. 99% of comrades give up before they get to t…2 found this helpful
A much better game than the first. While there are still some issues with the visuals (I don't like the way the eyes blink on everyone), the visuals are appealing and stylized enough to be easy to look at. But what matters most is the writing. Each case is more compelling and interesting than the first game. There are some quirks that require you to not think too much about the physics of the murder, but it not enough to break the mystery. The core of each mystery does enough to give depth. The demo contains the first case and is a good way to judge the writing. My only issue with the writing is the 4th breaking and self-aware jokes. But I also don't care for it in Banjo Kazooie and Yooka-Laylee, so this could be a personal thing. Never in my life did I ever expect to see "poggers" in a murder mystery game, but this game did. I haven't finished it, but I do want to replay the first game just to see how the two connect.2 found this helpful
Oh my God So I just completed this game after streaming this for 4 straight streams. I played Ace Attorney & other inspired games before including Burden of Proof, so I'm definitely experienced with this awesome genre. I thouroughly enjoyed my time with this game while thinking super hard at finding the contradictions, and I made it even more fun by playing the Ace Attorney music during a lot of the court moments. At the second to last case you got me with the false ending which was a nice surprise. BUT THEN, at the final level, just when things starting to heat up, the game did something I NEVER thought possible: IT ENDED WITH A CLIFFHANGER! NOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT TO SEE HOW THIS STORY ENDS!! I have never played another Ace Attorney esque game that ended before it finished the story before! Please let me know when I can expect the final - final chapter, I must see how this epic story concludes DX1 found this helpful
Polished up follow up to Burden of Proof mostly focusing on the chapter that sorta gets glanced over there.1 found this helpful
I loved it. Conrad Cross is too good for this world.1 found this helpful
A technically intermediary between the events of the first game, this primarily a single case that spans across multiple trials and events, making it quite different from similar games. The same dry humour and fourth wall-breaking events as the last game, and just as fun to play. The graphics even got upgraded from "comically bad" to "slightly above a knock-off mobile game" which is nice. Most rooms are still far larger than they ever would be irl and act more as facsimiles to give the impression of a real-world space rather than trying to be one themselves, but it's fun.
