Set in the dark and violent world of 1940s Los Angeles; Detective: City of Angels is a game of mystery; deception; and investigation for 1–5 players.
Step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives; hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to close a case; even if that means intimidating suspects; concealing evidence; and hiring snitches to rat on their fellow detectives.
One player; however; will take on the role of The Chisel; whose only goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn using bluffing; manipulation; and (often) outright lies.
The game includes separate; detailed casebooks for the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways. As the detectives turn the city upside down; uncovering fresh evidence and hot leads; hidden suspects may be revealed and new lines of questioning will open up; creating a rich; story-driven experience!
