About the game
What you do in a play session
The game places you in a constant moral dilemma: do you play strictly by the book, or do you decide to 'stretch' the rules to get the confession you need? Inspired by the vibe of movies like 'Beverly Hills Cop', you'll have the chance to use controversial methods to advance your investigation, but beware, as police bureaucracy and red tape can be your biggest enemies.
To add more depth to the experience, the expansion introduces brand-new observation and stakeout mechanisms, allowing you to monitor your suspects and gather valuable information more strategically. The immersion is high, but remember that the deduction here is real: you'll need attention to detail and, possibly, a lot of patience to navigate the game's database. If you love feeling like a true investigator, where every choice can change the course of the story and the line between right and wrong is thin, L.A. Crimes is the way to go. The question remains: how far are you willing to go to close the case?
