#1 - Game of the Year, Toronto Game Devs, 2016
Interactive story game
Special Agent Rachel Varley didn't know what she was getting into when she rejoined the world of international intelligence & security, but she sure wasn't expecting to be investigating a suspicious death on her first day back, and definitely not a death involving a runaway cybernetic exosuit. Will Rachel be able to get to the heart of the mystery and still manage to escape in one piece?
