Hello Counsel 💋
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Josephine, better known as the sensational criminal thrillseeker Poise, just got arrested! Good thing, her hot lawyer boyfriend Salem is here to help her avoid any jail time — only if she stops flirting with him, that is.
Right to counsel involves counseling from both parties, right?
- Around 8k words
- A questionable, law-defying couple (they're hot tho so it's fine)
- 3 dubious endings (all good — for them, exclusively)
- 3 stunning CGs that showcase our lovebirds' exploits
- An original, incredibly jazzy soundtrack
- A very loose understanding of the legal system
- Amazing Accessibility Options that should be illegal:
- Sound Captions
- Self-Voicing
- Font Options (Atkinson Hyperlegible or Futura)

giggling at "poise and irrationality" .. i chimed in
Insanely good game! It's short, easy to digest and every interaction flows without any issues. Seriously, awesome game! If ya got any time, check it out!
Ah, thanks for the super sweet comment!! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
What an utterly gorgeous game! Everything was so cohesive and well put together (the wonderful sprite expressions, the little pop ups as the duo go through each of Josephine's crimes, the music). It was also a real treat to go through the concept art at the end!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed playing!!
I don't know what to rave about first. The dynamic and expressive art? The deliciously flirty banter? The staging and visual effects? Those gorgeous ending CGs?
AAAAAAA-------
What an absolutely delightful experience Hello Counsel was! It just oozes cheeky irreverence and style from every digital pore. I think I grinned my whole way through haha!
Poise is such an undeniable icon - consider me the newest member of her fanclub. <3
AW THANK YOU! The team really went above and beyond, so I'm so happy you enjoyed it all!
Also, haha Poise would totally be honored to have you on board <3
I waited until the full release to play, and the wait was worth it! Everyone in the cast oozes charm and character, and I was completely reeled in by Josephine and Salem's shenanigans from line one. The expressive sprites, the snappy dialogue that encapsulates their dynamic so well, the CGs- there's so much to love here, and it deserves way more props!!
Aw, thanks for the super sweet comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed it <33
Had to come back here and screech some more!!!!! This game is *such* a treat and now I've got to tackle the rest of your backlog 🫶🏽
AH omg, welcome back lol <333 I'm so happy you enjoyed it, thank you so much for playing again! And oh, my other games are pretty different but I hope you still get a good kick of them :)
I don't know why I can't rate this game, but it's easily a 10/5 stars!! I need the full game like yesterday please😂💛 The bannter between Jojo and Salem?? Absolutely delicious
omg! thank you so much for your kind comment! the two are rather something huh lmao
(and oh! i was planning to reopen the rating once the final build is in, so i very much appreciate the stars and hope you play the finished version <333)
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
