Step back in time to 1950’s Copenhagen. Life as a homosexual is perilous, and a morality-special-unit patrol the streets to maintain virtue. The scenario unfolds as a journey through the shady world of law enforcement, with four police officers at the center. You will grapple with themes of love, career, loyalty, and anger in a historical Copenhagen marked by sex and discrimination. The 'villain' in the scenario is the gay man who seduces the youth; it is the seedy gigolo who will spread their legs for a penny; it is Forbundet, the audacious community who dares to create a safe space and connections for men who love other men.
The scenario explores Copenhagen through the eyes of the police officers, addressing discrimination, violence, sexuality, and love. Your choices and their consequences will be intertwined. It incorporates physical mechanics to handle violence and sexuality. Knowledge of Copenhagen and the 1950s is not required.
