Introduction from manual:
Welcome
to the urban jungle
You are MAX, an American investigative reporter living in Paris. When the story opens, Max has set up a meeting with Marcos to negotiate an exchange of information for an incriminating roll of film. But when Max turns up, he find the drug trafficker dead... murdered. This is the beginning of a hair-raising series of events, because MAX, now hounded by the cops for a crime he didn't commit, has also become a moving target for a gang of thugs, who are hot on his trail. There's only one thing he can do to clear his name: find the real killer, a killer who will stop at nothing to achieve his evil ends.
You are being followed relentlessly by unidentified enemies who will use any and all means to neutralise you (traps, anonymous phone calls, bombs, kidnapping...). Danger lurks in every shadow... Nowhere are you safe. Each time you escape, the situation only seem to escalate. Not long after the chase begins, you will be joined by ADDA, as mysterious as she is seductive. She'll be willing to take on delicate missions for you, although she'll have her own share of nasty surprises to look forward to. With danger closing in on all sides, you'll have to stay cool and use all your ingenuity and cunning to solve a murder mystery jam-packed with dizzying twists and turns.
