In some courtrooms, you enter with a clear belief: if who is right and who is wrong is clear, everything will be clear. But Not Just This doesn't work that way. It's like a closed room where every word, every small detail can bend the truth… and sometimes, just one slip of the tongue is enough to end a person's fate.

How to Play Not Just This

In the game, you play as a judge, constantly presiding over bizarre cases. Each defendant brought into the courtroom, you begin by asking: who are they? what is their past, what is their current life like?" It sounds logical, but the deeper you go, the more… out of sync everything becomes.

Reading Testimony and Suspecting Everything

A photographer is accused of peeping in a public restroom but claims they just went in by mistake. An influencer is arrested for taking free sausages without paying. A pizza delivery driver is 3 minutes late and prosecuted as a criminal. Each story seems absurd, but it's not entirely wrong.

You have to read the testimonies yourself, scrutinizing every detail, from their answers to the smallest inconsistencies. Sometimes, a seemingly harmless statement becomes incriminating evidence.

Case files where the truth is distorted

The game provides files containing information about the accused, the victim, and the opinions of both the prosecutor and the defense attorney. But don't blindly trust anyone. There are cases where the victim isn't trustworthy, and there are cases where the legal system seems to only want… someone to be guilty.

Decisions and irreversible consequences

After careful consideration, you make a judgment: guilty or innocent. But the point is, the game doesn't "reward" you for being right. It makes you question, "Am I really right?"

There are times you condemn someone for a thoughtless remark. There are times you set someone free… only to realize they might not be as innocent as you thought.

Not Just This Experience

Not Just This isn't a typical puzzle game. It's more like a psychological test. You're not just reasoning but also being drawn into emotions, prejudices, and very human judgments. There are cases that make you laugh because they're so absurd. But there are also moments that make you pause, like "Wait... what did I just do?"

Not Just This doesn't give you a clear sense of victory. Instead, it leaves you with something heavier: doubt. About the law, about people... and even about your own decisions.

You walk out of each courtroom with a lingering question in your head. Not "who is right?" but "Does justice truly exist... or is it just something decided by the person holding the gavel?" Explore another interesting game, Prankster 3D, too.
