There are two scenarios:
THE CHASE
There has been a collision, resulting in numerous deaths in the center of Silent City.
You and your friend are on the scene with a video camera and are told that you could investigate the scene, recording people's responses and opinions and you could then sell this to the local news channel.
In your investigation you uncover the mixed opinions from the community as to why this event happened, who was to blame and how it could be prevented in the future.
THE DOGHOUSE
Hazel Dene, local superstar reporter is broadcasting a story about the opening of the Doghouse nightclub. A young girl is knocked down by a car and presumed dead as the report is going live.
You guide Hazel around the scene to investigate crowd opinion and community comments around the topic of why it happened, who was to blame and how it could be prevented in the future. |
