Spanish Judge Simulator – A Satirical Game that Depicts the Spanish Court System

Spanish Judge Simulator is a free simulation game developed by Pixel de Troya Games for Android devices. The game allows players to take control of cases that are brought to trial and practice putting unnecessary fines, imposing prison sentences, sinking professional careers, and prosecuting those who are not their friends. The game is a satire that criticises the so-called ‘gag law’ that entered into force in Spain in 2015, which allows the police to impose penalties and determine the guilt of the accused without being a judge or simply use the laws at the convenience of the judges to apply the law at will.

Based on real trials and real cases that have reached the Spanish courts, Spanish Judge Simulator denounces the little freedom of expression that exists in Spain. The game is inspired by PAPERS, PLEASE about Ley Mordaza or Gag Law in Spain, and it is a reminder of the subjective nature of the Spanish court system. Spanish Judge Simulator is a unique and thought-provoking game that offers a fresh perspective on the Spanish judicial system.
