Phelps's marriage ends, he becomes disgraced in the LAPD, and he is demoted to Arson, where he is tasked with investigating a number of suspicious house fires. In exchange, Earle is given a place in a syndicate known as the Suburban Redevelopment Fund (SRF)âa development program that supplies housing for veterans, financially supported by the same people. Roy Earle, his partner in Vice and a corrupt cop, helps several prominent figures in the city cover up a major scandal by exposing Phelps' adultery before he can further question Courtney Sheldon, a member of Phelps' former unit, over his involvement with the stolen morphine. Near the end of the final desk, players assume control of private investigator Jack Kelso, who becomes the player character for most of the rest of the game although different in appearance and personality, he controls identically to Phelps. Besides reading the story, the newspapers give access to a short cinematic that either covers a part of the game's overarching plot or a flashback to Phelps' war memories.
In some cases, when searching an area for clues to the crime, the player can also find newspapers. After each case, players receive a rating of 1â∵ stars depending on their performance in both interrogations and searching for clues. The game assigns the player with cases that they must solve. Each desk gives the player a new partner who will help Phelps in his investigation of a number of cases based on a specific type of crime. The game starts with Phelps as a uniformed patrolman, and follows his career as he advances through the police department bureaus (desks) of Traffic, Homicide, Vice and Arson.
The game takes place in the city of Los Angeles, in the year 1947, with the player assuming the role of Los Angeles Police Department officer, and later detective, Cole Phelps.
