It’s 1931, jazz is crackling over the radio of your glossy convertible, and you’re on your way down to the bar to meet with Paulie and the boys about your next big score. Such is the life of Tommy Angelo, Lost Haven resident, and cabby turned gangster.

At the end of your adventure through this cyberpunk satanist utopia, you get to examine all the evidence and testimony you’ve gathered and prosecute the culprit of a sadistic killing spree.
