You’re a communications surveillance clerk... for the Ministry of Signal. Or at least, that is what your papers say. You lied to get the post, and now you spend your nights in the dark, listening through static and reporting suspicious transmissions to the same state you never wanted to serve. You do it because the alternative would be worse. For you. For your family. The game is about ambience, immersion, and the slow, uneasy routine of a person trapped in a job full of regret.
