Description

First Person (during investigation of areas)
Third Person (during dialogs between characters)



US version:


"After retiring to the quiet streets of Paris to pursue a life of painting, Gus Macpherson could not escape his true art...

"The former New York detective finds himself walking the beat once again, when hired by a sensuous woman to investigate the gruesome beheadings of her sister and brother-in-law. In the dark and mysterious streets of Paris, and plagued by his clairvoyant sixth sense: Gus will uncover a conspiracy written in blood, with rituals and artifacts as old as time itself!"
- Box Blurb


Non-US version:

"After the eerie opening credits suggest the game’s unsettling mood, the game begins with an absolutely beautiful long reverse tracking shot of Paris. You then meet the game’s protagonist, an American ex-private detective-turned artist named McPherson. In classic film noir style, a beautiful woman unexpectedly enters his life and demands that he return to detective work.

"She describes a grisly murder scene in a Paris hotel in which her sister and brother-in-law were literally cut to pieces by an unknown assailant. Though at first he's reluctant, McPherson ultimately agrees to pursue the case."
