About the Game

Overview: You are a spy in ancient Rome. On the night before a critical election, there is an assassination in the city. Your commander, Gaius Varianus, tasks you to find out who is behind the chaos.

Gampleay and Mechanics: The game is a 3d first person visual novel limited to very simple mechanics: movement and interactions. Speak with other characters to learn more about the crime, and the person behind it. The final decision for who is responsible will be up to you to decide. Get it right and save the republic. Get it wrong and watch it burn. The game is non-replayable meaning that you have only one chance to get it right.
