Ever wanted to feel like you're part of a classified government experiment that maybe — just maybe — should’ve never happened?

The Year is 1985. You are Barry Gittings, a guy who voluntarily signs up for a government experiment at the Vortex Complex — an underground facility buried deep in the unknown. You’re told almost nothing. The doors slide open. A voice greets you like you’re just another cog in the machine. The test begins. But here’s the kicker: no one tells you what the test actually is. No one tells you who’s watching. And most importantly — no one tells you why others before you never made it out.

Right-clicking brings your hand up and allows you to interact with objects in the game world.

My idea for it is that it takes place in the far future, in a somewhat dystopian, neglectfully-managed world that still has some humanity left. Like, you might have high technology like full-body VR or semi-sentient robots and stuff, but people still hope for a better tomorrow and make efforts to live happy lives. They would still have fun, go to the movies, talk about current events, go to school, and interact with their community.
