GAMEPLAYNew mechanicsDetective: L.A. Crimes expansion introduces a few new mechanics. For example, you will have an option to assign an observation to a suspect or a place of interest, to get even more in-depth vision of the situation. Additionally, in many circumstances, you will be able to do something off the books. These actions will generate extra stress, so you must be careful when you decide to take one or two of them. Finishing a case and answering questions before you are ready is not what you would want to do, but then again, sometimes doing something stressful may provide you with the exact answers that you are looking for.
