Case Synopsis

“Don’t you know that a midnight hour comes when everyone has to take off his mask? Do you think life always lets itself be trifled with? Do you think you can sneak off a little before midnight to escape this?”  - Søren Kierkegaard 

The door of El Santo Niño church flies open, and two shotgun blasts resound in the hall. Horrified witnesses report a gunman wearing a red cape and mask. Now El Angel Rojo — luchador and hero of Chavez Ravine  — sits in a jail cell downtown, charged with double murder…  

It is up to you, auxiliary investigator at the Global Detective Agency, to venture into the valleys of death and the wild world of Lucha Libre, where heroes and villains alike keep their identities hidden. Is the Red Angel truly a demon in disguise? Or are there more malevolent forces at play? 

In this case of high-flying luchadores, masked Mexican marauders and one barrio’s resistance against the powers that be, only you can find the deadly truth of Lucha Muerte!
