About this game

You are Abelard Lavel, a knight in the Paris of 1400 who has always had strange, prophetic dreams of crimes past and future, and the city has learned to bring its mysteries to your door. Chronicles of Crime: 1400 pairs a companion app with physical cards: scan crime scenes, question suspects, examine evidence, and read new Vision Cards that let your prophetic dreams reveal scenes no ordinary detective could reach. Every choice about who to interview and where to go is genuinely yours, and there is no replaying a case the same way twice. A moody, medieval murder mystery built for thinking out loud together.
