LA-1 (New Arrival)

I was resting at the office after a long day of gumshoe work in LA-1, the surface city beneath The City of Angels. My name is Doyle, and my partner is Mace. Together we own Mace & Doyle Investigations, the best private detectives in LA-1. Most of our work is done in the surface city of Old Angeles, which is the "official" name of LA-1, for whatever that's worth.

Bombs changed the world, erasing countries and leaving our society in perpetual dark atomic clouds. LA-1 "The Underworld", is beneath the surface. Here, mutants dwell amidst mining, greenhouse agriculture, and crime, forever altered by the falling radiation.

Above the clouds lies the City of Angels, a utopia for the rich, and a haven we seldom reach. Passport in hand, we occasionally hand cases there, facing the disdain of the elites - The Angels. They own, govern, and live lavishly, surrounded by android servants. Crossing an Angel is perilous: they can turn your life into a living Hell.

As I almost dozed off, a beautiful Angel in a white dress entered, disrupting my rest. "I needed help," she said. And just like that, my brief reprieve ended, and a new case began.

In LA-1, 1-5 players take on the role of detectives working for Mace & Doyle Investigations, solving cases in the post-apocalyptic city that was once Los Angeles.

LA-1 is not a deduction game, but a story-driven cooperative adventure in which players gather clue tokens and apply them to the case or suspects in the case. There are multiple versions of many case events, so investigations can go in radically different directions even when playing the same case an additional time. Players will need to work together to conduct stakeouts and investigations, using their skills and resources to resolve each case before darkness closes in.
