About the game
In this second entry in the Guilty series (after Guilty: Houston 2015), you will lead the investigation in a game with chillingly realistic details! "Damn it, has he forgotten me or what!?" Worried, you take a few steps towards the harbor, leaving the mechanics in the paddock behind. The Prince isn't the kind of man to bail out. Admittedly, your promotion to lieutenant-colonel of the Monaco Carabinieri is nothing more than a golden early retirement, but after twenty years in homicide, your cop instincts are intact: something's going on this morning. Something that's likely to make far more noise than the fury of the Formula 1 Grand Prix. In Guilty: Monaco 1955, which leads will you follow in this labyrinth of lies, false trails and shocking revelations? Each card you play brings you closer to the truth, but also closer to danger. In this game where every detail counts, you'll have to fit the puzzle pieces together while keeping an eye on the clock. Because, yes, your time is running out! At every moment, the hourglass of justice runs out, and the choices you make have irreversible consequences. Will you be the methodical investigator who follows the evidence to the end, or the instinctive one who takes calculated risks to nail the culprit? And beware: any misstep could lead you down a blind alley, or even worse. You can assume the consequences of your choices or bitterly regret them.
