An interactive psychological thriller

KNOWNVARIABLES

Someone is watching. A dead psychologist leaves you an encrypted archive, a dangerous political history, and one question you can't outrun: how much of your life has actually been your choice?

01 / The story

The file was never meant for you.

Dr Serena Wood is dead. Hours after her death, an encrypted archive appears on your phone. It contains government records, secretive security contracts, and disturbing evidence of surveillance. Buried among the documents is something much worse: your own name.

You thought you'd escaped your past with a man who became Prime Minister. Instead, your history appears to have been catalogued, assessed, and quietly repurposed. As you search for answers, the people who offer to help become increasingly difficult to trust.

Everyone knows something. Everyone wants something. And somewhere behind the evidence, somebody is still watching.

02 / The experience

Trust is a variable.
So are you.

A character-driven visual novel where romance, suspicion, and the investigation are inseparable.

01 / CHOOSE

Your responses matter

Defy, negotiate, conceal, confess, or investigate. Your decisions shape how the story's central players perceive and respond to you.

02 / INVESTIGATE

Follow the evidence

Examine a dead woman's archive, question powerful people, and decide which fragments of truth you are willing to share.

03 / CONNECT

Dangerous intimacies

Build complicated relationships with men whose loyalty, secrets, and desires intersect with the case in very different ways.

03 / Persons of interest

Four men.
Four versions of the truth.

Access a file to learn more. Whether any of them deserve your trust is another matter.

THE WATCHDOG
“Somebody removed the evidence before I could ask for it.”

A detective who notices what others overlook. His investigation into Serena Wood's death draws him toward an unsettling possibility: someone has already decided what the official story should be.

04 / Secure access

The archive remembers.

Dr Wood left behind a trail of evidence. Some files are incomplete. Some are deliberately missing. One thing is certain: the past is not as safely buried as someone would like.

Try opening the recovered status report.
