Guilty as Sock! is a 2025 party video game developed and published by Demon Max.
Gameplay
[edit]Guilty as Sock! is a party video game for three to nine players.[1] Set in a fictional courtroom, each player takes a role, such as the judge, attorney, prosecutor, or bailiff. A case is revealed to all players at the start of the game, based on which they interact with each other throughout the game.[2][3]
Each role has an unique ability. The prosecutor and attorney have a set of 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.[2][3][4] 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.[3]
Development and release
[edit]Guilty as Sock! was created by indie developer Demon Max and released for Windows and MacOS through Steam on May 29, 2025, following a brief demo period.[5][6][7]
