Judgment is a story about Yagami, a detective based in the fictional area of Kamurocho in Tokyo, Japan. While working to acquit a person suspected of murder, Yagami gets caught up in a case of serial killings that has much larger implications than it initially appears.

One of the major threads in the story is uncovering the identity of the so called "Mole", who is believed to be responsible for the killings. In my opinion, a good mystery drops the player hints throughout the story so that the most genius ones among us can theoretically solve the mystery before the eventual big reveal and/or a good mystery recontextualizes many of the things they've witnessed earlier on in the story when all the secrets are finally laid bare. While Judgment makes an effort here and the game does drop you hints here and there and you'll end up looking at some of the things a little differently, some of the developments in the story end up not making perfect sense in hindsight, and when the killer's identity is finally revealed, your reaction will likely be "Huh, I guess this person could be the villain" instead of "Of course, this person is the villain! I should have seen it coming."
