**Los Angeles, 2037.** The sun goes down, the neon lights ignite the mist and mayhem, and Los Angeles comes alive in all its gloom and glory. You walk the streets, both badge and bogeyman. This city fears you. Resents that it needs you. Refuses to accept that you’re here to stay. And yet that’s your job. To stand in the rain, steam, and shadows amidst the seething crowds and chaos. Relentlessly pursuing what never wants to be found. That lone silhouette, bathed in light and darkness. Looking for meaning and morality in both, and finding yourself somewhere in between.
More each day you’ll learn that the system is broken. That the rich write rules only the poor must follow. That the bad guys win while the good guys do paperwork. That the greatest threats are far outside your reach, above your pay grade, and below your moral belt. And the more you’re exposed to the city’s worst corruptions and seductions, the more you’re outnumbered, the more you’re expected to run into the fight. Making it out alive is your problem.
This is what it means to be a Blade Runner. To be a Replicant. To play a rigged game you’re intended to lose. To serve a system that doesn’t protect you, but expects you to protect it. But if anybody’s playing against the house, better somebody with a badge. Hey, even pawns can keep kings in check. On good days, they can even make them fall. And in those moments, it doesn’t matter if inside you is a soul or synthetics. Because when you pull that blaster, you’re nothing but a Blade Runner. The closest thing this city’s got to a fighting chance. And you’ve got a job to do.
