"Do not forget what you are... a machine."
The dead of Fortuna City remember. It's your job to listen.
A mayor fished out of a water treatment pool with his heart carved out. A journalist frozen alive in an industrial locker. An executive strung from his own ceiling like a marionette. Someone is sentencing the powers of Fortuna City, one theatrical corpse at a time — and someone else is using the bodies as cover.
You are a forensic detective in a city-state owned by a corporation, policed by its private Protectorate, and haunted by a rumor: a hybrid virus that infects machines and flesh alike. The deeper you read the evidence, the clearer the truth becomes — the whole city is the crime scene. And the closer you get, the more the investigation turns its eyes on you.
INVESTIGATE LIKE A FORENSIC — SURVIVE LIKE PREY
Read the memories of the dead. Recover neural implants from victims and replay their final moments — every case builds to a memory that changes what you know.
A real forensic toolkit. Sweep scenes with a UV lamp that reveals what shouldn't be there, expose what's under the skin with a subdermal scanner, taste the air with a gas spectrometer, sample residue with remote chemical analysis. Each tool has its own logic — and its own moment.
Interrogate the living. Confront witnesses with the evidence you've gathered. No evidence, no leverage. The right clue at the right moment cracks a lie wide open.
Investigation pays in blood. Optional clues aren't flavor text — the trail you scanned may be the only way out of a building surrounded by tactical teams. What you learn is what keeps you alive.
SURVIVAL HORROR WITH COUNTED BULLETS
Every shot matters. Ammunition is scarce, enemies are relentless, and aiming is a commitment — no dodge roll will save you. Position, read, and decide.
Dismember what used to be human. The infected of Fortuna City break apart — and some of them get back up changed.
An AI director orchestrates every encounter: enemies flank, take turns, and hunt as a pack. No fight plays the same twice.
The doors you close behind you may not stay closed. Some of what hunts you knows how to turn a handle.
A CITY THAT WANTED TO FORGET
Six cases. Two predators. One conspiracy running through the water supply, the church, the press, city hall and the corporate tower — all the way down to a sealed laboratory where something was born that infects signal and sinapse alike. Solve the cases in any order the evidence allows, carry every discovery forward, and face the final confrontation with everything you've learned — because in Fortuna City, the complete file is the deadliest weapon there is.
The hunter becomes the hunted. The forensic becomes the evidence.
