## Description
Embark on a futuristic noir adventure in Android, a board game that throws you into the middle of a sinister conspiracy and a murder to be solved. You and your friends take on the roles of detectives in a dystopian New Angeles, tasked with solving a crime in just two weeks. But beware, as the investigation isn't the only challenge: each detective has their own personal demons and moral dilemmas to confront, adding an extra layer of complexity and drama to the gameplay. 

Using an action point system, you'll need to wisely manage your time and resources to investigate clues in the city and the lunar colony Heinlein, unravel the web of conspiracy surrounding the case, and simultaneously deal with your internal conflicts. The beauty of Android lies in its replayability: with unique character powers, each detective offers a distinct experience, ensuring no two games are the same. Do you feel more like the cop Louis Blaine, battling guilt, or the psychic clone Caprice Nisei, striving to prove her humanity? The choice is yours, but the clock is ticking. Prepare for a deep immersion into a dark science fiction world, where your decisions will shape everyone's fate.
