Step off the sidewalk and the city speaks: the click of a courthouse hinge, a distant train, and then a voice in your ear—Commander Mahoney setting the scene. You follow the map as the sun slants across downtown Carson City, pausing at ten plotted locations where audio segments unwrap clues, characters and red herrings. The game turns ordinary storefronts and alleyways into crime-scene stages; a bench, a lamppost and an empty lot become evidence.
