About this board game
Chronicles of Crime: 2400 is a standalone cooperative crime-investigation game for 1–4 players, with sessions lasting about 90 minutes. Set in Paris in the year 2400, it challenges you to solve cases in a future shaped by androids, artificial intelligence, cybernetic implants, and virtual cyberspace.
You take the role of Kalia Lavel, a former elite BelCor cyber-agent who left the force after discovering that her employers valued profit over justice. Now living in a struggling neighborhood, Kalia follows her family legacy by solving crimes and helping people who cannot rely on anyone else.
Technology is central to every investigation. Your Cyber-Raven can analyze evidence and search the web for information about suspects, while new cybernetic implants may expand your abilities during a scenario. Useful enhancements include super-senses for locating evidence, a tomograph for checking people for cybernetic modifications, and a zapper for neutralizing electronic devices.
- Investigate crimes across a richly imagined future Paris.
- Use a Cyber-Raven to analyze evidence and search for information.
- Obtain cybernetic implants that can increase your investigative abilities.
- Question characters whose true nature may be difficult to identify.
Not every technological advantage is on your side. Androids can be indistinguishable from humans, while avatars in cyberspace may conceal the identities of the people behind them. Social unrest, corporate power, extremist groups, and street gangs all shape this merciless world.
Part of the Chronicles of Crime: The Millennium Series, this 2021 release shares the series’ core system with standalone games set across different eras. Chronicles of Crime: 2400 brings the investigation into a distant future, where the search for justice extends from the streets of Paris into the digital world.
