Date played: March 25th
Platform: PS4
I spent a good amount of time playing Syndicate yesterday. I decided to do 3 "Dreadful Crimes". In the first, I investigated a woman who was murdered in the park. It turns out, she had been killed by her doctor who suffered from dissociative identity disorder and was jealous of his "other self". I found this one really difficult and accused the wrong person many times...
In the second, it was a leatherworker who was killing people to harvest their bodies. He sold the bones mixed with manure to a florist, the meat to a butcher and he used the skin himself to make leather... Disturbing as fuck.
The third crime investigation was about a professor who died, then the next night, was found knocking at his own door, then died again before he could say anything! I eventually discovered that a jealous coworker wanted killed him to take over his position at the university. He used a rare African spider's venom to put the professor in a sort of coma. The man was buried, then taken out of his grave to be sold for "science" by the gravedigger. Creepy.
I reached level 9 with both Jacob and Evie along the way, which let me equip some stronger equipment. I then decided to do some missions for Karl Marx, the legendary socialist. He was worried about some of his supporters turning to violence, including a dude who was gathering nitroglycerin for an apparent attack on Marx's enemies. I hijacked the cart and led it to safety. I also killed a bunch of guys in the process, so the "turning to violence" thing seems quite hypocritical.
Then, I had to protect Karl Marx from shit distrubers while he was doing a speech. I had to stay hidden, then kidnap one of the bad apples and take them away from the area without being seen. Eventually, a full on battle erupted, so I killed everyone who was a threat.
Finally, I completed a real story mission, something I hadn't done in a long time. Jacob heard about Starrick burning omnibuses ran by his competition. He thought this would be a good opportunity to make an ally by helping the victim of Starrick's violent actions. That's how I met Pearl Attaway, a beautiful businesswoman. She agrees to join forces with Jacob to hurt Starrick's business. In the mission, I had to make my way to a bus depot owned by Starrick and burned the fucking things to the ground. It felt great!
