Historical Record
A parallel 2019 case—archived through an interactive lens—maps the same Los Angeles with different corridors and outcomes. The game’s record emphasizes procedural detail: canvassing, evidence handling, and the way choices redirect limited resources across the city. Commercial districts, animal markets, and rain‑drenched rooftops become nodes in a branching investigation that mirrors the constraints of real policing.
Its historical value lies in perspective. By documenting alternative leads and timings, the case file shows how uncertainty and human judgment determine which facts ever make it to an official report. For scholars, it complements public records from 2019 with the lived texture of patrol work and the fragility of cause‑and‑effect in urban chaos.
