Steam Social Deduction Fest ends
Official stores with direct support.
Your journey unfolds across a 15-shift narrative campaign where every decision matters.
Build trust, gain authority, manage suspicion, and determine your place within the Inner Circle. The choices you make throughout the campaign influence the people around you, the opportunities available to you, and ultimately how your story ends.
No two playthroughs are exactly alike.
At the gate of the Inner Circle, every decision you make decides who gains power — and who shouldn’t have it.
Some visitors are lying. Some are dangerous. Some will look completely harmless.
Your job is simple: let the right ones in.
The reality is anything but.
Analyze visitors through documents, behavior, and interrogation.
Search for inconsistencies, contradictions, and hidden intent. A missing detail or a single hesitation can reveal the truth, or mislead you completely.
Every action affects more than the person standing in front of you.
Manage Trust, Suspicion, Authority, Reputation, Loyalty, Exposure, and more as you navigate an increasingly complex system.
A single mistake can damage your standing. Consistent performance can open new opportunities.
The system is always watching.
Approve the wrong person and you risk losing control.
Detain the wrong one and you punish the innocent.
Visitors will pressure you, manipulate you, and test your judgment.
You will make mistakes and you will have to live with them.
The Entry Validation Protocol gives you structure, but it won’t save you.
As you progress, rules become less reliable and cases more complex.
Not everything can be explained. Not everything should be trusted.
At some point, you stop following the system… and start making your own calls.
Work hard, earn money, and return to your apartment between shifts.
Purchase decorations, utilities, gadgets, and upgrades to personalize your living space and unlock new opportunities.
As your career progresses, your apartment evolves with you, offering new customization options and ways to spend your earnings.
How you live outside of work is entirely up to you.
Documents are only the beginning.
Use available tools, databases, communication systems, and investigative methods to uncover hidden information and identify potential threats.
Some answers are obvious.
Others require intuition, experience, and a willingness to look deeper.
Your decisions are tracked.
Your performance is judged.
Your loyalty is questioned.
Hold the line.
Or become part of what you’re trying to control.
