The game takes place in a single government building, in real time over four hours, the game advances without input from the player, but almost all in-game actions can affect the game's story. The game is set in late 1987 within the same universe as White Paper Games' first title Ether One. The game doesn't have a health bar or energy system, when the game needs to punish the player it does so by using up the player's time, for example if a player is caught doing something they shouldn't, they are taken to a security office and lose 15 minutes of game time, which shortens the time available to achieve the main aim of the game, obtaining knowledge.

I found this game for $2 brand new at Gamestop and I'm super mixed on it.

I like that they're going for a more intelligent political story than most games even attempt, but it sucks to actually play. It's one of those games where opening a drawer requires holding a button then pulling the stick back... But every single action has something like that. It's a total chore to play with a controller.

Probably gonna bounce on this one, because it could be a groundbreaking narrative, but if it's miserable to actually play, I won't enjoy it. This is why I can't do CRPGs.
