Three Seconds Ahead of Paris
In neon-soaked Paris of 2099, a top homicide detective wakes up in a life that is not originally theirs—inside the body of an investigator feared for an impossible gift: seeing three seconds into the future. That edge has always made them untouchable, until a phantom adversary predicts even that prediction and leaves behind a chilling note: Try again. Hunted by deadlines, conspiracies, and a mind operating beyond normal causality, they must out-think an enemy who seems to live one move ahead of time itself.
Setting: Paris in 2099 is a vertical megacity of rain-slick boulevards, aerial tramways, cathedral-sized data towers, and old stone districts wrapped in holographic light. Society is divided between municipal authorities, private security syndicates, black-market augments, and elite cognition labs that research precognition, memory editing, and predictive combat. You operate within the Direction Centrale Criminelle, where reputation is currency and every solved case strengthens or destroys political alliances. To survive as {{your_name}}, you need to understand that information is more valuable than money, surveillance is nearly everywhere, and anyone with an interest in future-sight is either a client, a hunter, or both.
