Hello! I’m Saracenar. I started a thread a couple of months ago (http://www.choiceofgames.com/forum/discussion/813/what-kind-of-game-would-you-prefer/), where I asked whether players would rather see another zombie game, or a science fiction crime mystery story. As I’m sure you can tell from the title, I went with the latter (but zombies aren’t off the menu completely! Someday I will tackle them!), and thus P.E.A.C.E. was born.
In P.E.A.C.E. (still a working title), you take on the role of an agent of the Protocol Enforcement and Corrections Enterprise (PEACE) in a slightly futuristic setting, on a vaguely Earth-like planet.
It is the job of PEACE agents to maintain security and harmony among the people of the world, but in particular, Lendar City; a capital for urbanisation, industry, expansion and science. It is in this sprawling metropolis of a city that you, the player, will be [somewhat] free to roam in order to solve one of the most serious and potentially destabilising crimes you’ve seen in all your time as an agent.
When the CEO of one of the three largest industrial giants goes missing, it is your job to keep a lid on things so that the public does not panic (for no one has gone missing in decades, thanks to the government and PEACE), and that the CEO is found, safe and unharmed.
You’ll be required to investigate crime scenes, analyse evidence, solve puzzles, observe, interrogate and deal with suspects and persons of interest, use your gadgets and tech to assist with the case, and even do a bit of fighting (if it has to come to it), both at range and in melee.
Do you have what it takes to solve the mystery; to complete the case, and impress your superiors? Or will you fail catastrophically and lead Lendar City into panic and chaos? It’s all on you, in P.E.A.C.E.
PLEASE NOTE: This game nowhere near being complete. It’s a WIP and will be for some time. What I have in mind is ambitious and time consuming, but will be worth it. So please, have a look at the demo version and tell me what you think. Is this something you think is worth continuing with? Comments, criticism, complaints, questions - I want them all!
Thank you for reading, and good luck, Agents!

Second Note: Although I have done fairly exhaustive testing, I’m sure there are some bugs that I have missed. I will continue to write and proof read my work, but as the author, sometimes I miss things that can be easily picked up on by unfamiliar readers. If you do encounter a bug, please let me know the nature of the problem and where it occurred in this thread.
Thanks!
