The Game

A 3-D first-person psychological graphic adventure, set in an overcrowded prison with focus on choices that will challenge one’s morality.

When the feeling of alienation of Vis a Vis meets the choices of a Telltale Game.

The story

- James goes to prison in his brother’s stead

- Shift of power between the jail groups’ bosses

- Logan is involved and wants his share

- Roscoe is trying to anticipate Logan and restore the balance

- James will get involved and will have to choose

- Will James, as a honest and innocent man, remain so once he faces all the hardships of  life in jail?

Mechanics

- Know your House!: From time to time, James must go from a sector to another of the prison, that’s when the player can explore. He may find items for self-defence, like shivs, escape routes or even shortcuts to avoid nuisances.

- Piss Off!: James is frightened, thugs and criminal can understand that just like dogs can smell your fear: since some of them want to show off their strength, they will start to follow him: avoid them if you don’t want to have a fight!

- Adapt!: As an innocent with a conscience, James will find himself in situations where he must dirt his hands: things are not as black and white as you thought! Not all the choices are so simple to take: your morality will be questioned!
