Batman - Everyone Lays (Portal Games)

Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot? If only it were that simple … Every day, someone is silenced. Greed and corruption flow through the veins of the authorities, yet we smile and give our voice to the faces who promise us the most. Every day, a new lie is told. Gotham City’s cityscape mirrors the people who call it home — people who have been raised by the city and shaped into criminals, mindless sheep, and the oppressive elite. Those who were once superstitious and cowardly have become brave — free of fear, kindness, and honesty. We all lie to ourselves that a symbol will be able to save us. – Warren Spacey, Gotham City™ Gazette

Batman – Everybody Lies is an expert game with a captivating story. Players are recruited by Jim Gordon™ to investigate cases that are outside the scope of the Gotham City™ Police Department. They each play one of four possible characters: veteran police officer Harvey Bullock™, passionate journalist Vicki Vale™, down-on-his-luck journalist Warren Spacey, or cunning thief Selina Kyle aka Catwoman™. In each episode, players must work together while also trying to achieve their own personal goals. They travel through Gotham City: from the murky underworld to the bustling offices of the Gotham City Gazette. After each of the three full-length episodes, players complete a debriefing report and are judged both on the time they took and the secrets they uncovered.
