Of the Devil

Of the Devil is an episodic cyberpunk murder mystery game starring Morgan, a Public Defender who takes on cases in a world where surveillance makes getting away with murder nearly impossible. In the prologue, Morgan represents a man accused by police of shooting six people through the heart. She uses her insight into the case to pursue the truth and defend her client.

A surveilled future

The year is 2086. Cameras are built into devices, citizens carry multiple devices, cybernetics have tracking implants and bullets have location tags. Violent crimes are cleared in 97% of cases, and 98% of cases that go to trial end in a guilty verdict. People are safer than at any other time in history, but anyone wrongly accused faces a system where every stone is accounted for.

Investigate and deduce

You examine 3D crime scenes, question multifaceted characters and use Morgan’s unique insight to pursue the truth for her clients. Thorough investigations and the right questions build CREDIT. In confrontations, you read opponents’ hands, call their bluffs, avoid their haymakers and present evidence to overturn their reasoning.

Episodic cases

The prologue is a complete chapter, and additional episodes tell other self-contained mysteries. Morgan’s cases take her against mega-corporations, cyberpunk gangs, VR cultists, aristocratic secret-society conspiracies and government weapons projects, both inside and outside the courtroom. The stories explore a world where cyberpunk rebels clash with the surveillance state, within the justice system and beyond the reach of the law.
