Based on academic research, the plot puts you in the shoes of a 1946 war correspondent returning from overseas. She wants to get to the bottom of a mystery that involves top brass in the military and the government. Unfortunately, she will meet resistance both from Washington... and at the office.
"Because the story takes place almost 70 years ago, we can highlight these gender issues without seeming exaggerated," stated the writer, Emilie Villeneuve. "The player will foremost seek to solve the plot, and along the way will discover the real obstacles. The issues explored are still very present today."
"Prejudice limits our collective potential," confirmed the game designer, Thiéry Adam. "By placing our players in emotionally engaging situations, we hope to prepare them for similar situations in real life. By wrapping this scenario around a familiar word game mechanic, it is accessible to everyone."
