TeamTO applies its expertise in 3D animation to bring a dystopian New York City to life, with dynamic lighting and long takes that reinforce psychological tension. The collaboration with Martian Blueberry brings character design influenced by classic anime, while the script structures clues and twists typical of the noir genre. The use of shadows and light contrast aims to immerse the viewer in the detective's paranoia.

Because yes, in the future the city is still just as expensive and cops are still just as underpaid. At least his trenchcoat is bulletproof and immune to judgmental looks from his colleagues. That said, let's hope the conspiracy includes a good cup of coffee.
