Dark Sage

Beneath the city's skin, another city breathes. Every soul is a puppet. You just have to find the strings." Detective Davon Deshaun is a man built on rituals and "psychic bricks," trying to fortify his mind against the weight of every unsolved case he carries like a stone in his pocket. But in a city bleeding from a string of brutal murders, the "pattern" is a grim, tightening noose around the precinct’s neck. When a young woman is found mutilated at the upscale club Michelin’s—her body treated like a "twisted work of art"—Davon is thrust into a nightmare he can’t escape. Worse, he’s forced to partner with the only person who can find the cracks in his foundation: his former partner and ex-girlfriend, the cool, professional Claire McGuire. As they navigate the wreckage of their shared history, they are hunted by The Architect—a sadistic mastermind who doesn't just kill, but designs entrapment. Leaving behind charcoal sketches of his future horrors, The Architect is building a "custom-tailored prison" around the detectives themselves. Davon and Claire soon realize they aren't just the investigators. They are the centerpiece of a grotesque exhibition. In a game where the walls are already rising, can they find the man pulling the strings before they become the next "finishing touch"?
