Lead a band of misfits and outcasts on a thrilling road-trip across a Divided States of America. A story-driven action-adventure about hope, love, friendship, robots…and the power of words. From the creators of Dreamfall and Draugen. Learn more or sign up.

It's 2030, three decades after the Broadcast.

You play Pax: ex-con, con-artist, outcast. You’ve been hired to transport a mysterious package from Pacifica to Nova Scotia, across the Justice-controlled American Republic.

But this is not a one-woman job. The fanatical Puritans are on your ass, the authoritarian Justice is in your way, you’re an outlawed Anomal, and you’re four-months pregnant.

You need help. You need a crew.

Recruit a band of misfits and outcasts with the power of words. Together you might survive this road trip…unless you destroy yourselves first.

At the end of the day, there is no hope…

Your crew is fam. Round up, manage and look after a motley mob of misfits with peculiar powers, compelling stories and clashing personalities.

Words can hurt. Use weaponised words (fuelled by disinformation) in combat and conversations, to fight enemies, manipulate strangers, and motivate friends.

On the road across America, you’ll stop at iconic locations in a dozen states, explore strange new places and take on unexpected assignments, meet a diverse cast of characters, enlist new crew members and fight your pursuers.

(also these other things)

• Cross a Divided States of America ruled by the authoritarian Justice, from Pacifica to the Free Nation of Nova Scotia, staying one step ahead of the fanatical Puritans.

• Robots! Let’s never forget about the robots.

Resistance is never futile.

This moment happens only once.

This is the moment to act. The moment to rise up and stand for something. To protect the weak and speak truth to power. To rebel against the forces that threaten us all.
