Detective City of Angeles (Spanish)

City of Angels

Detective: City of Angeles, set in the dark and violent world of 1940s Los Angeles, is a mystery, deception and investigation game for 1-5 players. Most players will step into the shoes of the Los Angeles Police Department's homicide detectives, hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to close a case successfully, even if it means intimidating suspects, hiding tests and hire snitches to snitch on their colleagues. One of the players, however, will take on the role of "The Chisel", whose sole objective is to paralyze and mislead the detectives at all times through bluffing, manipulation and (often) lying.

Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) system to create the feeling of interrogating a suspect. The suspects do not limit themselves to giving answers read from a predefined book, but El Chisel carefully chooses how they are going to respond. When Billy O'Shea insists that the victim was a regular at Topsy's nightclub, is he telling the truth or is The Chisel subtly leading the detectives down a dead end that will waste precious time? Detectives can refute answers they believe are lies, but at great risk: If they are wrong, The Chisel will gain the advantage over them, making the case much more difficult to solve.

Detective: CoA includes separate, detailed casebooks for both the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a carefully constructed puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways depending on how the detectives decide to conduct their investigations. As the detectives turn the city upside down, uncovering new evidence and “hot” leads, hidden suspects may be revealed and new lines of investigation will open up, creating a unique narrative experience.

Inspired by film noir classics such as The Big Sleep, the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential) and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games, Detective: City of Angels is a murder mystery game unlike any other. Will one detective outmaneuver the rest and close the case of L.A.'s latest high-profile murder? Or will the Chisel sow enough doubt and confusion to prevent the detectives from solving the crime?
