About This Game

Enter a bleak dystopian era. A totalitarian authority governs every facet of personal and public existence. Regulations are harsh, monitoring is absolute, and anonymity is obsolete. You assume the role of the State-appointed supervisor of an apartment complex. Your daily duties involve making the property attractive for renters who move in and out. Yet, this is merely a cover for your actual objective. Your main duty is to secretly observe your tenants and listen in on their discussions. You are required to plant bugs in their flats while they are gone, scour their possessions for anything that endangers the State's power, and create profiles for your higher-ups. Furthermore, you must inform the officials about anyone capable of breaking the rules or organizing subversive acts against the State. You are just a gear in the totalitarian mechanism with your own household to look after. Do you hold onto your morals and conceal your residents' secrets? Or do you stay true to the regime to ensure your survival? The decision rests with you. You can expose a father's suspicious deeds and leave his children as orphans. Alternatively, you might keep his illicit acts hidden and grant him an opportunity to redeem himself. Or perhaps you will coerce him to gain resources for your family. As you progress, you will engage with numerous individuals and fulfill numerous missions. You will make choices that shape the narrative. This leads to one of various conclusions—the specific ending you have brought upon yourself.
