Welcome to the
Department of Liberty

The World

A major terrorist attack leads to the formation of a new, immense intelligence agency: The Department of Liberty.

It will hunt down those responsible, and prevent further attacks, all with unprecedented and terrifying access to people’s private information.

As you progress up through Clearance Levels, you earn a higher salary, more respect, greater powers, perks, and access to top secret information. Decide how to use these privileges.

Will you stick to your principles and defend people’s privacy, or succumb to the allure of absolute power?

Features

• Clearance Levels – Everything - everything - hinges upon your Clearance Level. Impress your superiors, and they will promote you to a higher level, unlocking cooler (and creepier) powers, increasingly classified information, and prestige.
• Surveillance – Early Clearance Levels only allow you access to a target’s metadata or browsing history. As you progress, you bore deeper into their lives, with geo-tracking, shopping patterns, and even drone surveillance.
• Individual targets – Your Department database is packed with citizens’ profiles, with colourful backgrounds, human flaws, and realistic dilemmas.
• Executive powers – As you ascend the ranks, your decisions grow more challenging. Are you willing to order searches, wiretaps, abductions, and smear campaigns? Will you secretly defy the Department, and help your targets?

More Features

• Personal life – Use your powers outside of work, whether for fun, financial gain (not, strictly speaking, legal), or even romantic triumphs (not, strictly speaking, moral).
• Chapter-based storytelling – Gameplay intertwined with story structure, for satisfying payoffs, real character progression, and zero grinding. Experience the dystopian surveillance of an Orwell novel, but with the moral complexity of the modern world.
• Meaningful moral choices – No morality meter, and no Good/Evil decision moments. Instead, we offer significant in-game consequences. Your choices can lead to bombings, false arrests, corrupt bankers escaping prosecution or even (gasp) your own demotion.
• Classified data – Each new Clearance Level exhumes hidden documents, exposing more of the DoL's shadowy operations.
• Assets & Prestige – As your salary grows and your integrity shrivels, buy plenty of status symbols to make yourself feel better. Impress and intimidate peers with new homes, cars, suits, and more. In too many games, you rise to the peak of every possible rank/guild/achievement metric, yet even the lowest peons still treat you like a nobody. Not here.
