The Screen Judge

The Screen Judge is an adaptation collection of true stories from Taiwan, paired with diverse gameplay such as puzzle-solving and stealth. It is a game that is simple to play, yet its thought-provoking story makes it, intellectually, no simple little game. The total playtime is not long, but the real mental challenge begins only after you finish the game.

The Screen Judge Game Overview
In The Screen Judge, players control the protagonist as he searches for clues to the truth in an interwoven world of memory and reality. The story is set in Taiwanese society after the lifting of martial law in the 1970s, an era before the internet became widespread. Through the protagonist's life story, players can explore how the media, with the help of various "screen judges," erases a person from society.

The Screen Judge Art Style
The art style is inspired by old-fashioned color hand-drawn advertisements and posters. In an era when printing and image-processing technology had not yet been computerized, painters oscillated between realism and fantasy, resulting in a style that is as realistic as a photograph yet different from traditional figure painting. The picture-book style born from this has a unique charm.

The Screen Judge Game Features
* It took nearly a year and a half to create, and both the story and visuals contain a large number of metaphors waiting for players to discover.
* This game is a microcosm of society. It not only explores the phenomenon of public opinion killing people, but is also closely linked to many real social issues.
* Beyond the main story, the game contains many Easter eggs adapted from true stories, and finding the hidden mini-chapters is one of the pleasures!

The Screen Judge Development Team
18Light Game originated in 2012, founded by a group of Taiwanese students with game dreams in a shared dormitory on the 18th floor. "With the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, let people exchange for an extraordinary journey" is the original intention behind 18Light Game's game development. All games developed by 18Light Game are related to adventure, upholding the creation of games that let players "share the fun together" and "discuss the story together." Social issues are integrated into the story, so that while players enjoy the entertainment, they can also ponder profound stories. In the future, we hope to use information to carry entertainment and change people's lives through games.
