New York City, the City That Never Sleeps. Things were supposed to be different in our modern 1930s. Shining skyscrapers and subway cars to lead us into a grand future. Sure. So, why was I in the same dingy office with a cheap desk and an even cheaper secretary, paid to track cheating spouses? I had no more time for introspection. I grabbed my hat and gun, slipped a flask into the pocket of my overcoat, and waded into the cesspool. There was a mystery to solve, and I had a deadline (and a hot dame) to meet! Uncover the clues and crack the case in Deadline, a cooperative, hard-boiled mystery game of crime and murder.
