"Well, with the stage of symptoms he has, I'm afraid it's likely he's going to die in the next few months. There is an experimental treatment, but the application process is extremely stringent. If you want me to, I can see about getting you started?"
And from there, after a series of interviews, terms, agreements, and god-knows how much travel, you're here. In a sterile bedroom, with your husband in a stasis tank a few corridors away, slowly being healed of a Rot that had no cheap solution.
And now, you're a tester for some corporation, participating in an experimental trial that is doing hideous things to other people,
Your body, his life.
Would you kill for him?
This is a game that mixes a deadly FPS with an IF about selling yourself in a capitalist world.
About the pain if seeing someone you love fade away from something preventable, yet impossible to fix due to the financial cost. About the anger of having to sell your entire self to get even a trickle of notice from the corporate colossi.
About 1-2 hours longContent notice: themes of grief, a partner slowly dying, being stuck in a medical/corporate system that doesn't care for people.This game has one sex scene halfway-through, which can be skipped.Supports both gamepad/keyboard controlsMade for Windows, Mac/Linux builds are provided but untestedThe game does not have a settings menu or options, but does save your progress.
The game takes it's cues from the new era of Wolfenstein, the classic FEAR, the tensity from Sicario, and layers it with the yearning poetry of Andrew McMillan.
