Detective work is never easy. When the body of Alexander Wolff is found floating face down in the pool at a party for the film about his life, there's only one man for the job.
You. It's you.
You’re going to need an edge and that cool tie isn’t enough.
Thank God they partnered you with Maxwell. His manners are questionable, but he can see all of space and time so it’s easy to forgive the little things.
With the right information and some light encouragement, Max will take you back to the exact moment you’re looking for.
You can’t just walk into a mob boss’ house. But the murder got you some breathing room and the Chief has made a deal. You've got one night to investigate the house.
It’s a gorgeous mansion. Eighteen rooms. A three-storey fish tank. A garage larger than your entire apartment and a pool overlooking the coast.
And they say crime doesn’t pay.
9 suspects, one evening. What did they do? What secrets are they hiding?
They’re not just gonna tell you, that’s for sure.
Interrogate, cross reference, or just wildly accuse them with no proof. You’re the detective, after all.
