The Heart of Crime
USA, Chicago, the 1920s. Cigarette smoke, the rise of jazz, crime. All this and much more awaits you as you investigate mysterious crimes.
You are a journalist for a local newspaper, but what a journalist you are! Without your deductive mind, there would be no such high-profile journalistic investigations that have kept the public on edge.
An old friend is better than two new ones
One ordinary morning, upon waking up, you find a note from your old university professor asking for help. Puzzled, you quickly head to him to unravel this mystery.
This is where your adventures begin. You can hire up to 5 partners to go through exciting scenarios.
In the footsteps of legendary gangsters
The game literally brims with the aesthetics of the 1920s. A detailed map of Chicago, newspaper clippings, crumpled envelopes, and even address books styled in antiquity. Use all your intuition and logic, as well as your deductive skills, to untangle a series of criminal cases. Interrogating witnesses, chases, and shootouts are included!
