\"Bow<\/a>\"BowBow Street Runner<\/a> is a new game designed by LittleLoud<\/a> for Channel 4, which leads the player into the murky world of Georgian London to solve mysterious crimes.<\/p>\n

Bow Street Runner<\/em> is set in London\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Covent Garden in the 1750s, and depicts a time when crime and vice in the city had hit such levels that the locals magistrates began to introduce the first instances of physical policing of law and order.<\/p>\n

Each episode (5 in total) of the game will lead the player to explore different crime scenes, collecting evidence, solving puzzles, interviewing characters and presenting the case to the magistrate for judgement. Will Fielding’s fledgling police force gain the public’s trust through successful convictions of hardened criminals? Only if the player, as Fielding’s key Runner, can prove who did it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Bow Street Runner<\/em> is based on the Channel 4 five-part series City of Vice.<\/p>\n

Bow Street Runner<\/em> is designed to be historically accurate, and therefore the game\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s content and its setting may not be suitable for younger players!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have fun!<\/a><\/p>\n
