Back in 1988, Amsterdam wasn’t the popular vacation spot it is today. Instead, it was a city struggling with crime, drugs, and unrest. Players will dive into this gritty world, taking on a mysterious case involving a body found in Zeedijk. People also call this place Heroin Alley, a dangerous area where cops never go in alone. As they investigate, each piece of evidence presents its own puzzle to crack, with every solution offering a clue that brings them closer to uncovering the truth. It will eventually guide them deeper into the city’s dark underworld.
