Love the concept and the dilemmas.
I was just a bit confused about how it ends since it has no menu or restart buttons.
Also I think it would be nice to have more visual cues that we start to be imbalanced ( i have hard time to see exactly the imbalanced one since everything is white and i was too focused on the text xD)
Overall I really enjoyed it. Great job !

Nice idea.
You could improve with songs.
Put visual / characters in the choises like the poor guy standing or the super hero in the trial. Or images of the crime.
You could hint which option will increase or decrease certain bar.
Give the total of trials that awaits. It seems infinite.
Icons for each bar. Like heart for mercy. Hammer for justice / order.
Anyway good job. Almost a phoenix wright game.

The Unbalance LabGreat concept!I had fun but i couldn t based my decisions on the 4 bars because there weren t really explicit and i couldn t really understand which one was higher than the others.

CenterStageVery nice. I personally find it misleading, i thought that when the bar fills up it's good :) but i break the balance.
Perhaps it would be nice to have some kind of red/green counts that shows up when you make a decision, maybe the bar to be half red, half green and fills up to the green or red part when you make the decisions ?
Otherwise it looks very good, nice idea

Almost HomeThe game made me felt like a leader. Anyways a great concept. But yk there should've been mechanics like if you make a decision and if mercy increase then freedom will decrease. but it remained same.

Home DeliveryQuite an interesting game! Would have preferred audio like banging a gavel or something. But very cool concept!!

Balance ErrorI love the concept of your game. And the four parameters to balance. Really good and original idea. It can be an interesting system for an rpg or even an rogue like action game. At the end participate to a jam is fun with great dev and people ! (carbon copy)

Yin-Yang SinsVery cool concept of balance here, but I just couldn't get into this one. The choices were too serious I feel and my decisions didn't really feel like they did a lot overall. Maybe that is the point.

Idle HandsI loved this game! It's pretty similar to what I made except this one is a bit serious.
Graphics, animations and music would be great addition to this game.
Also a suggestion: Can you include what the maximum for each bar? like currently I am 8/10 on Justice so need to be careful ?

President's red cap (open source)Interesting concept. The music really adds to the atmosphere. Good job.

Feed The DemonNice idea! Reminds me of "Reigns" but with a more modern approach

The Soul's BalanceNice idea and good fun. I think it would be cool to reflect back to the player what kind of world they were advocating for e.g. a world that exercises tolerance but criminals take advantage or an authoritarian world where people have limited freedoms.
