The premise of the game presented in the base of Detective is the same here with some slight changes. You will play as an LAPD detective, working under the command of an excellent Chief Bradley.

As every great criminal story, this one starts with a dead body and a couple leads to follow. The Chief is trusting you, and you cannot let him down. Although, you must be cautious because this is a sensitive case, which makes it even more difficult to solve, but that never stopped a detective like yourself right?

Detective: L.A. Crimes introduces a few new mechanics, for example, you will have an option to assign an observation to a suspect or a place of interest, to get even more in-depth vision of the situation that you are trying to understand. Additionally, in many circumstances, you will be able to do something off the books, these actions will generate extra stress, so you must be careful when you decide to take one or two of these actions. Finishing a case and answering questions before you are ready is not what you would want to do, but then again, sometimes doing something stressful may provide you with the exact answers that you are looking for.
