The Detective

Original concept
Warning Studio Games has announced the start of development on "The Detective", an action 3D adventure set in a dark urban environment. The game will follow Sal Russo, a detective at the end of his career, as he takes on the most complex case of his life.

Nestled amidst the bustling metropolises of Velmont, Riverton, and Dunhill, Tangletown stands as a strategic hub, a crossroads of logistical and commercial interests. This prime location has fueled a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, radically altering the town's urban and social fabric.

Once a tranquil rural community, Tangletown's strategic allure has attracted significant investment, propelling unprecedented residential and economic growth. Modern skyscrapers and luxury residential complexes now grace the landscape where once stood fields and farms, transforming the town into a vital nexus for trade and transportation in the region.

However, this rapid expansion has cast a dark shadow. Tangletown's strategic position has also captured the attention of organized crime, making it a haven for criminal gangs, drug traffickers, and smugglers. The struggle for territorial control has ignited a relentless power struggle, with rival syndicates from neighboring cities vying for supremacy.

Despite the escalating criminality, Tangletown maintains a façade of idyllic charm, carefully orchestrated by a web of political intrigue. Local leaders, often in collusion with criminal organizations, wield their power to mask the town's true nature, projecting an image of progress and prosperity. Well-crafted marketing campaigns and astute media management perpetuate this illusion, attracting unsuspecting residents and investors oblivious to the hidden reality.

Tangletown, therefore, is a city of stark contrasts, where economic progress and modernity coexist with corruption and crime, creating a complex and perilous environment beneath a veneer of tranquility and affluence.

Under the leadership of Sheriff Peter Gallagher, the Tangletown Police Department has long cultivated an image of efficiency and tranquility. Cases handled by the department were often seemingly straightforward and swiftly resolved, as if meticulously crafted to reassure the public and mask the town's underlying corruption. However, the arrival of Sal Russo, a seasoned detective with a haunted past and an unwavering determination to uncover the truth, shattered this carefully constructed façade.

The sudden disappearance of the mayor's daughter set in motion a chain of events that threatened to expose the true nature of Tangletown and those who held its reins of power. Sal Russo's relentless pursuit of the truth and his ability to pierce through the veil of deception could finally bring to light the dark secrets lurking beneath the veneer of this seemingly idyllic town.
