## Gameplay

Glassell Park. Morning. One living-room screen has been removed and placed against the wall.

No glowing clues. No killer fantasy. Observe, document, preserve — or sign a record that says you did not.

## World

Not generic 1980s noir. NIGHT STALKER: L.A. 1985 rebuilds its city from real-world Los Angeles and period reference — streets, structures, vehicles and civic texture included.

The city is evidence.

## Editorial position

The killer is real. The manhunt is real. The people you protect are composites — out of respect for the real ones.

You are never the killer. You are the investigation, and the city.
