| Game Title Change Announcement | 2025-03-29 | Hello, detectives. This is Slater. Today, I want to share an important update regarding the game. After careful consideration, I’ve decided to change the game's title from 'Justice For Sale' to 'Man of Nollyn'. I recently discovered that other media share the title Justice For Sale, the most notable being a 1999 Frontline documentary. While this doesn’t pose any immediate legal issues, it might cause confusion and make the game harder to find. And to prevent it, I’ve chosen a new title that better represents the game’s setting and protagonist. Aside from the title change, everything else remains the same. Development is moving forward as plan |
