Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1980: a vibrant city of music, food and magic. Neon lights flicker in dirty puddles along Bourbon Street; the innovations of the modern world collide with old and terrible traditions; and murder is never far away. Staffed with a roster of brilliant, colorful, and ultimately flawed private investigators, the Beaumont Agency specializes in solving cases that no one else can crack.

In The Dark Quarter, an app-based cooperative adventure game set in the dark 1980s New Orleans, players each take control of a Beaumont cop and work together to solve the worst crimes New Orleans has to offer. It is a world full of magic, where curses are sold on every street corner, where voodoo priestesses and creatures of the night lurk, and where even the most mundane crimes have a hint of the supernatural.

Through multi-scenario campaigns, the game tells a rich, dynamic story and invites players to make crucial decisions that not only affect their characters, but also change the direction and course of the story. The characters are not simple avatars that can be easily moved from scenario to scenario; instead, they are woven into the core of the story itself. Their fate and the fate of New Orleans are inextricably linked.
