The door of the El Santo Niño church flies open, and two shotgun blasts echo through the hall. Horrified witnesses report a gunman wearing a red cape and mask. Now the suspect sits in a jail cell downtown, charged with double murder.

As an auxiliary investigator at the Global Detective Agency, it’s up to you to venture into the wild world of the Mexican Wrestlers of 1950s Los Angeles. Welcome to Lucha Libre, where heroes and villains alike keep their true identities hidden. Is the Red Angel truly a demon in disguise? Or are there more powerful and malevolent forces at play, here in the valley of death?

This was a great mystery that was fun to solve and showed some real honesty about police brutality and racism. Not perfect, but they weren’t sugar coating it or pushing cop propaganda, that so many other games do.
