La - Noire Cheat Table
Dozens of them. T-posed. Still wearing their motion-capture suits from 2009. Some had no faces—just wireframe placeholders. One repeated a single line of dialogue on a loop: "You fucked up, you fucked up, you fucked up."
The first time he used it was on a jittery gas station attendant named Leo, who was clearly hiding something about the morphine thefts. Phelps clicked the usual Truth button. Leo’s face twitched, then settled into a perfect, uncanny stillness. The model didn’t move. But a text box appeared in the air, white-on-black like a terminal: [CHARACTER_INTENT: GUILTY. HIDING MURDER WEAPON IN TRASH CAN BEHIND LOT B.] la noire cheat table
[DEV NOTE: This line was cut for pacing. Use spare voice line "I swear I didn't see nothin'" to transition.] Phelps stared. He walked behind Lot B. The trash can contained a bloody tire iron wrapped in a rag. Leo hadn't confessed to that. No one knew about it. Dozens of them
The cheat table grew from there. A hotkey let him —every doubt, every lie, every "Press X to doubt" turned into a perfect truth machine. Another key revealed "Actor Emotion Override" : he could see the raw numbers behind every face— Fear: 94%, Anger: 12%, Deception: 100% . The citizens of 1947 Los Angeles became spreadsheets wearing skin. Some had no faces—just wireframe placeholders
And for the first time in weeks, he felt like a real detective again.
He opened his inventory.
Phelps didn't know if that was a lie.
