About the game

Chronicles of Crime: 2400 is a standalone cooperative deduction game set in a cyberpunk Paris of the 25th century, where 1-4 players use a companion app and virtual-reality mechanics to solve futuristic crimes. As cyber-agent Kalia Lavel, you'll interrogate suspects, scan crime scenes with your pet Cyber-Raven, and unlock cybernetic implants that boost your investigative abilities. Blending physical cards and boards with an immersive digital app, it delivers branching scenarios full of twists. Part of the Chronicles of Crime Millennium Series, it stands alone while connecting narratively to the series' other eras.

Hobbli's Notes

Chronicles of Crime: 2400 pushes the series' clever app-integrated deduction gameplay into a genuinely inventive sci-fi setting. The cybernetic implants add a fun toolbox of investigative options that keep each scenario feeling different. Its low downtime and cooperative structure make it a great pick for small groups who enjoy narrative mystery-solving. If you enjoyed the historical entries in the series, the futuristic twist here is a satisfying change of pace.

What we like

  • Innovative app integration brings crime scenes vividly to life.
  • Cybernetic implants add fun, varied investigative tools.
  • Low downtime keeps cooperative play snappy and engaging.
  • Branching scenarios and narrative twists reward careful investigation.

Keep in mind

  • Requires a companion app and device, which some groups may dislike.
  • Scenario-based content means limited replayability once solved.
  • Complex narrative may be harder to follow for very casual players.

Who it's for

Great for mystery and sci-fi fans ages 12+ in groups of 1-4 who enjoy app-assisted cooperative deduction games.
