Altered Bloodlines

Altered Bloodlines is a visual novel about a 37-year-old FBI agent in Boston. After rescuing six kidnapped young women with his partner Sarah and Boston Police Department detectives Luke and Hannah, he wakes in hospital with an injury and finds that the case is only beginning. You investigate a vast conspiracy and a shadowy criminal enterprise once thought to be myth, relying on old and new friends to uncover the truth and protect those close to you.

The case and its characters

You play as James Ackerman, an FBI agent who has worked in the Boston office with Sarah Lockwood as his partner for eight years. You can rename James. Sarah, 35, is also a close friend, and the two have had a friends-with-benefits relationship for much of their time as partners.

Luci Cooper, 18, is a freshman at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the sixth kidnapping victim. James feels an immediate connection to her after seeing her photo in the case file, and their budding romance is tested by what the investigation reveals. Hayleigh Graham, one of Luci’s closest friends, is a freshman at Boston University. The case also brings James together with Hannah Powers, a 33-year-old former Army Ranger and current Boston Police Department detective, and Luke Robinson, a 37-year-old detective and longtime friend whom James met soon after joining the Boston office. Hannah became James’s friend after partnering with Luke.

Choices and relationships
