You run an apartment block on behalf of a totalitarian state, and your real job is to watch the people who live there. While tenants are out, you plant listening devices and search their belongings for anything threatening to the authorities, then build profiles and decide whether to report them. Running the building day to day continues alongside the spying.
In this dystopian setting, every report is a moral decision, and your choices shape what happens to the tenants. It is a single-player blend of adventure, strategy and management, suited to players who enjoy tense, narrative-driven games about ethics under pressure rather than fast action.
