The hero is a policeman, talented and devoted to duty. But there is a clarification - this is a dead policeman, killed because of his work, but he did not leave the world, he turned into a ghost and did not lose his passion for investigations. A hero can do many things in our world, but not all.

An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.

Originally a handheld game, following Aveline through colonial Louisiana with a persona system that swaps her between three social identities to change who reacts to her. New Orleans and the premise are the interesting parts. It is short and visibly scaled down beside the console entries, the persona mechanic is more inconvenient than tactical, and the story thins out badly in its second half.
