6 itemsAbout the Game
Welcome to Hell City, USA, where a new drug called "Pig" turns homeless addicts into violent maniacs. A serial killer known to the press as "Der Kannibale" has been butchering and feasting on its victims while leaving Bavarian clues at every crime scene, like German Oktoberfest beer. The FBI is on the scene to hunt down the cannibal, while local police are helpless and overwhelmed by the increasing brutality of psychotic vagrants.
As FBI Field Photographer Thomas Greene, you do not carry a gun and need whatever weapon you can find to stay alive and get the job done. Grab a two-by-four, pipe, fire axe, shovel, brick, beer bottle, or whatever you can from the environment around you. Document every crime scene with your camera to solve the murders and fight the addicted and deranged.
