About
Immerse yourself in a visually stunning neo-noir detective thriller set in 2329 New York City. You play as Detective James Karra, a jaded officer of the Department of Mortality, armed with time-manipulating technology to hunt a serial killer targeting the city's elite. Blending advanced forensic mechanics with a gritty narrative, you must navigate a world where death is obsolete for the wealthy but a nightmare for the poor.
Story
In a transhumanist future where consciousness can be transferred to new bodies, James Karra takes on an off-the-books case alongside a young police liaison, Sara. As they investigate the gruesome murders of the city's immortal elite, they uncover a dark conspiracy that challenges the ethics of eternal life. Your choices will shape James's personality, influence his relationship with Sara, and determine which of the multiple endings unfolds.
Gameplay
Experience a methodical first-person investigation game that prioritizes deduction over combat. Utilize the 'Reconstructor' to rewind and manipulate time at crime scenes, visualizing bullet trajectories and movement patterns. Combine this with UV lamps and X-ray scanners to gather clues, then piece together the truth on a holographic deduction board to advance the narrative.
