Stain the Cerebral

A clueless agent wanders simulations of the future generated from implanted hyper-intelligence. Who is he? What's going on? What's true? What's real? No one cares. With words, violence, stealth, bribery, psyche reconstruction, and more - he'll have to figure it out for himself.

-"BORROW" SOME WEALTH

ATTEMPT TO DISCERN SOME TRUTH

Find data orbs containing film (rotoscoped and fully voiced animations), notes, and/or music and visual art filling in story and lore - allowing sense to be made of these strange occurrences... maybe...

The agent will need to learn and overcome non-linear, experimental game structure challenging typical notions of progress and data analysis. For example, saves will remain relevant beyond their immediate use. They're known here as "Instances" - a precious resource allowing traversal across a web of potential outcomes and information.

There's a soundtrack spanning every genre and even more gameplay mechanisms awaiting discovery...
