Unauthorized Termination
30-Sep-2006
Joint 1st place in the InsideAdrift End Of Year Comp 2006
Finalist in the XYZZY Awards 2006, Best Setting
You are a
senior investigator with the police force of what is basically a totalitarian
state. On a world where nearly all forms of crime are punishable by execution,
you have been called on to investigate someone who has been unlawfully killed.
From the initial investigation it clearly looks like an accident and your
superior is very keen for you to close the case. You decide to dig a little
deeper and it is then that you uncover something that should probably have been
better left hidden.
Authors Notes:
I had the original idea for this game a long time ago. A world of
robots, who are just starting to gain some form of individuality. So
religion, politics, possessions all form part of the world that you occupy.
The game turned out a little more linear that I had hoped. I was extremely
pleased to break into the IFComp top ten and then to be nominated in the
XYZZY awards. Termination is one of the few ADRIFT games to do
either.
I am planning a to write a sequel to Unauthorized.
