"I'll just go and speak to the building manager...it'll be alright..." In the near future, a young woman is having the worst night in her apartment that she can remember. Part 1: The Prisoner of Fate (Oct) - Bumped out of her comfortable addiction to a simulated world, Latha Sesame finds herself physically and digitally trapped within the confines of her state-provided slum apartment, disconnected from the outside world. As the single unknowing flaw in a grand and sinister scheme, can she escape before those plotting can correct their mistake? An inventive twist on the 'escape the room' genre, Technobabylon shows us a dystopian future where people prefer to live their lives in virtual reality rather than accept their own and work to better themselves. While technically a one room game, it manages to offer multiple puzzles both in and out of reality and pleasant visuals reminiscent of older adventure games. Part 2: The Weight of the World (Dec) - A young woman contemplates her end. A terror from the past comes to take its revenge. A police scientist finds himself blackmailed with the lives of the unborn children of his dead wife. Forced to carry out the will of an anonymous voice on the interlinks, Dr Charlie Regis must try to perform both his official role as public servant, and the role that his antagonist has set for him. How long can he keep this conflict hidden from his friend and partner, Dr Lao? And more importantly, can he save the most important remaining part of his lost love? Part 3: In Nuntius Veritas (Apr/2011) - Having narrowly escaped death at the hands of a bomber, agoraphobic Trance-addict Latha Sesame finds herself being questioned about the incident by the city's law-enforcement body, CEL. Having managed to track down his blackmailer, CEL agent Doctor Regis finds himself being diverted to conduct a quick interview with a shaken young woman who may have information about a recent bomb attack related to him and his department. Can Regis keep his story straight long enough to track down those responsible for his current strife? And can he protect this young woman? | ||
