UNDERGROUND OVERTHROW
DESCRIPTION
YOU ARE RECRUITED BY THE UNDERGROUND HACKER MOVEMENT TO LOOK INTO GLOBAL GOVERNMENT SECRETS. BUT BEWARE, YOUR SURVEILLANCE TECH UNLOCKER IS NOT 100% FOOLPROOF. RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK AS YOU RESEARCH, SOCIAL ENGINEER, AND HACK YOUR WAY INTO WADDLEMAR WARRING'S EMAIL!
THEME
UNDERGROUND OVERTHROW FOLLOWS THE UNDERGROUND THEME BECAUSE THE PLAYER IS AN UNDERGROUND HACKER. BELOW ARE THE THREE WILD CARDS.
1) BREATHTAKING
THE DESKTOP BACKGROUNDS ARE SCENIC VIEWS.
2) NEXT!
THE PLAYER IS GIVEN A NEW FAKE ID AND COMPUTER EVERY TIME SURVEILLANCE TECH CATCHES THEM AND THEY 'DIE'.
3) DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
IF SURVEILLANCE TECH CATCHES MILDLY SUSPICIOUS WINDOWS OPEN THAT AREN'T IMMEDIATELY INCRIMINATING, THEY WILL OFFER THE PLAYER A DEAL TO TURN IN THEIR UNDERGROUND HACKER MOVEMENT CONTACTS.
GAMEPLAY
FOLLOW PROMPTS AND CLUES FROM THE DARK WEB TO ANSWER WADDLEMAR'S EMAIL SECURITY QUESTIONS. SCAN THROUGH ARTICLES, VIDEO INTERVIEWS, AND EVEN CATFISH HIS SON TO GET THE ANSWERS. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE YOUR WINDOWS WHENEVER SURVEILLANCE TECH GOES BACK ONLINE. OTHERWISE, YOU'RE BUSTED!
