From the WIP blurb:
In a distant future, man has colonized the bottom of the ocean and built huge underwater cities to provide a home for the billions of people the surface of the Earth can no longer nourish. Millions of people are sent there as pioneers, living in self-dependent communities without any contact to the world above, or Dryland, as they call it. To provide for them and to serve as the administration of the underwater cities, a series of clones was designed as human supercomputers – the Supervisors – and placed in sensory deprivation tanks inside these cities, their minds connected to the life support systems of the communities they oversaw. The Supervisors were designed to sleep in a half-lucid state while their subconscious controlled everything in their cities, and if they died of old age, a new Supervisor would stand ready, cloned from the DNA of the first.
But now, in the city of Bluetide, something has gone wrong and the connection between the Supervisor in his sensory deprivation tank and the rest of the community has collapsed for some unknown reason. The Supervisor thus awakes for the first time in three generations and finds himself blind, deaf and mute. The only connection to Bluetide consists of four poorly maintained service robots he can still control – robots with very limited capabilities.
What happened in Bluetide? This is what the Supervisor needs to find out.
You are the Supervisor.
A few words in closing: This has been a LONG nine months, and had everything gone smoothly, four months would have been a feasible timeline for a project of this scope. Alas, sometimes real life comes first, which is why this game took so FRICKING LONG to make. I hope it will still find a few players. Consider this my Christmas gift to the LSF, with my deepest thanks to DaFool and mangakaluna, without whom this wouldn't have been possible.
Oh - and before I forget... I'm hereby announcing the beginning of the secret Hinami Karaoke Contest! What is the secret Hinami Karaoke Contest? If I told you straight up, it wouldn't be secret, would it? Suffice to say that while playing Hinami's path, you may notice a bit of peculiar behavior on her side. Draw your own conclusions, and if you think you know what the Hinami Karaoke Contest is, drop me a PM to enter. First one to get everything right wins a prize, and everybody who enters is sure to have fun!
