The war is over. The hunt begins.
After WW2, the world is rebuilding. Borders are shifting, the dust of war is still in the air, and entire regions have turned into controlled zones under strict quarantine.
In the middle of all this, people are trying to start a new life.
A few might be tied to a cartel. Others might have a suspiciously convenient past involving certain nazi affiliations they’d totally prefer you not to notice.
You are an investigator assigned to screen incoming travelers and identify those hiding behind false identities. Check documents, verify details, compare stories.
Names don’t always match. Dates don’t always make sense.
Some will lie.Some will panic. A few might tell the truth.
And some will look you straight in the eye and say “Please” like that’s a strategy.
And then there are… offers.
It’s about deciding what kind of investigator you are.
Strict and incorruptible?
Flexible… for the right price?
Or just trying to get through another day in this slightly chaotic zone?
We’re not judging. Much.
🧾 Cross-check identities, dates, and records
💸 Deal with bribes and make moral choices (or practical ones)
⚠️ Increasing difficulty with evolving rules and tighter quarantine
🔀 Multiple outcomes based on your decisions
No action. No chases.
Just you, a desk, and a line of people who are totally fine. Definitely nothing to hide.
And occasionally… an envelope you probably shouldn’t open.
