Blood & Badge vs SHADOW PROTOCOL

You start as a police-academy cadet in San Verano and build an entire career — the range, the driving course, the penal-code exam, and then the streets. Every stage tests a different skill, and a hidden Integrity meter runs underneath all of it. You will be offered bribes, planted evidence, and easy ways out. Corruption is a real, playable path — and it ends in a cell. Earn your detective's shield and the real work begins: nine original noir murder cases, and four more seasons of eight each behind them. This is not a tap-to-win mystery. Every suspect lies. A caught lie is information, not a verdict — press it, hear the revised story, and separate the affair, the debt, or the petty crime from the murder. When you're ready to file, you build a case theory on the Accusation Board: pin the evidence that proves MEANS, MOTIVE, and OPPORTUNITY. A weak pin or the wrong name collapses the case at the preliminary hearing. Later cases plant false evidence you must discredit before the DA will touch your filing. FEATURES • A full career arc: academy → patrol (motor or graveyard watch) → homicide detective • 41 hand-written murder cases across five seasons, each with suspects, aliases, statements, lies, and physical evidence • The Accusation Board — pin means, motive, and opportunity; theories that don't hold up fall apart • A living Integrity system: bribes and shortcuts throttle your future earnings and raise every bar. Clean work heals your record • Marksmanship, a pursuit driving minigame, and a plain-language legal exam • Detective II in-service training that teaches the harder investigation mechanics • Original LA-noir writing, art, and score FAIR BY DESIGN Your credit balance is never taken as a punishment — not by a wrong arrest, not by a bad choice. Mistakes cost you standing, never your wallet. Purchased credits and unlocks carry across every new career. Blood & Badge is a work of fiction. Its cases, characters, and legal content are original and for entertainment only.
