Perspective
Guilty as Sock! is a party video game for three to nine players.[1] Set in a fictional courtroom, the game is played through online multiplayer, with voice chat being a requirement for all.[2] A case, the details of which are decided by the prosecutor, is revealed to all players at the start of the game, based on which they interact with each other throughout.[3][4]
Each player takes a role, such as the judge, attorney, prosecutor, witness, bailiff, journalist, or jury. Each role, played in first person as a sock puppet, has a unique ability used to impact gameplay.[2] The prosecutor and attorney each have a set of randomly-selected evidence cards, which they use to prove or disprove the defendant's innocence and sway the judge, who has the power to silence lawyers, declare verdicts, and instruct other players.[3][4][5] The other roles, which are optional, add additional elements to gameplay. For example, the bailiff may assault other players, while the journalist may create and submit new evidence.[4] Each player has, in addition to their role power, several paper balls they may throw at others to temporarily stun them.[2]
There is no limit to the duration of a game, which ends when the judge declares a verdict.[4]
