The cases that will land on your desk vary in difficulty, scope and type. From trailing a cheating spouse to corporate espionage involving multiple suspects and different locations. While each case features a story on its own, the cases or characters are occasionally connected with each other. Solving one case the right way may open up new avenues to pursue in another case.
Each case comes with its own turns, twists and surprises as well as characters trying to help or derail your investigation.
The cases require diffident skill sets and tools. You will need to learn when to be unnoticed and when to take a problem heads-on. When to observe and when to take initiative. There are different approached to each problem or clue and how to pursue them.
It’s PI and spy gadget heaven. There is an incredible amount of gear to aid you in any situation. Tracking, spying, wiretapping, audio monitoring, cameras, hacking tools, finger printing, biometrics, you name it this game has it. Solving cases gets you paid and you can use that money to get better equipment. You can also pick up some gear while working on a case.
High-tech gadgets and surveillance gear is awesome, but sometimes low-tech might do the job just as well or maybe even better. You can use a ton of cool gadgets to get into a place or aid you with shadowing someone, but you can also use a good, old fashioned disguise and skill.
The skills of your character and your own skills play a major role in spotting clues, coming up with avenues of inquires, applying counter-surveillance techniques or simply paying attention and noticing things and behaviors. The tools and gadgets help a lot, but knowing when and how to apply them is as important.
Another important crime solving tool at your disposal is the narrative system that not only covers all situations related to the case, but also your own actions creating a highly immersive environment and aiding your gameplay should you run into problems proceeding in a case.
