What Zulú is about
Didier has just started his new job as a detective at a police station in Paris. His assignment: the Behavioral Analysis Unit, where he has to analyze and interpret interrogations to get a proper read on suspects in all kinds of crimes.
What starts as an investigation into a minor theft gets complicated when Didier pulls on a loose thread and uncovers a tangled conspiracy covering up the heist of the century.
In the simulator, you practice what he does: recognizing and interpreting nonverbal cues in facial expressions, gestures and posture, applying rules to evaluate what you see and telling when someone is lying. It's body language training with a mystery to solve, plus personalized feedback on every exercise.
