Story edit
In the game Guilty Party, the player assumes the role of a family member of the Dickens Detective Agency, led by the family's patriarch, the Commodore. The Commodore plans to retire, and give the family business to someone once he's gone, but there is more to do than figure out the successor to the family business. The Commodore's nemesis, a master criminal named Mr. Valentine, knows that he is retiring. Valentine launches their ultimate crime spree, and it's up to the Dickens Detective Agency to stop him. Mr. Valentine kidnaps the Commodore's wife Olivia & the story goes through several levels, where the detectives must look for clues and the testimony of the suspects to find the Guilty Party and finally to unmask Valentine.
