Overview

About this game

January 1st, 1981 - The Republic of Valdoria
As anti-government protests tear through every corner of President Harlan's regime, the Morven Pandemic erupts without warning claiming 200,000 lives in its first 21 days.

Dirty Ledgers
After six years of unemployment, you've finally landed a government post: checkpoint officer at the nation's first and only safe zone. Your only escape from your stepfather's house is to survive 26 days on the job. But playing by the book isn't always enough. To stay alive, will you stand against corruption or become another cog in its machine?

Your Morals, Your Story
No matter how well you do your job, the moral choices will find you. Will you pull strings for a bureaucrat's nephew while an innocent woman is sent back to the husband who'll kill her? Or will you do the opposite? How your story ends is up to you.

The Harlan Regime, the Protesters, Your Family, and the Morven Pandemic
To make sense of it all, listen to the conspiracy theories whispered by the citizens at your window. You'll never know which ones are true. What you believe shapes your choices and your choices shape your fate.

Small Choices, Seismic Consequences
Every action is yours to make. But every choice costs something. Play it safe or go radical. A single nuance can topple a government or land you behind bars.
