Death Insurance

The Game

Welcome to your new role in the claims department at Bliss life insurance. Investigate client deaths from the comfort of your desk, thanks to the company's proprietary Lexicontological computing system.

A 3D scan has captured every object at the exact moment of the client's death, but you can only view one object at a time. Read your Retriever's report, check the sketch, then start searching. View objects in 3D, from the mundane to the disconcerting, and move them around to find hidden details and unlock new names.

Collect more objects, details, and names to piece together the true cause of each client's death.

A curious cast of cubicle-mates, and unexpected visitors, will keep you company through the oppressive quiet of the 9th floor. Each day uncovers more of the company's mysteries, and by the weekend you'll come to know the true meaning of Bliss.
