Story
In 1933 Brooklyn, Private Detective Sam Marlowe finds his city teetering on the brink of
chaos. His trusted mentor, Adam, has vanished without a trace, leaving behind a void and
an unsettling feeling of unease. At the center of the turmoil lies an enigmatic secret group,
pulling strings from the shadows. Drawn into the mystery, Sam reluctantly teams up with
Elo, the spirited daughter of the city’s mayor. Together, they begin to uncover a far
reaching conspiracy that implicates a shadowy organization. As Sam and Elo race against
time, they must navigate a web of betrayal, expose the Syndicate’s sinister agenda, and
ultimately stop a malevolent force from consuming the very soul of Brooklyn.
Key Features
● Intense gun action: Tap into Sam’s honed survival instincts to temporarily slow
down time during intense combat encounters. This tactical ability provides a crucial
edge, allowing players to execute a diverse range of maneuvers to outwit and
overcome their enemies.
● Brain twisting Investigation: As a seasoned private detective, Sam gathers
crucial information by engaging in conversations with the city’s inhabitants and
meticulously interacting with his environment. The intuitive investigation journal
automatically organizes collected clues and testimonies, unlocking new dialogue
options and pathways for story progression.
● Film noir atmosphere: Embracing the timeless allure of classic comic book art,
