Rubicon: A Conspiracy Of Silence
iOS & Android, (Labelle Games)
When Paula Cole, a stressed-out food scientist for a large food company, returns from vacation, she discovers that something strange has happened and that the company has chosen to ignore scientific evidence that is inconveniently incriminating.
Your objective is to expose the emerging malfeasance using the company's Slack-style communications channel to interrogate coworkers, examine data files, and pose probing inquiries to the company's AI.
The idea is sound, and the social commentary and modern context are both welcome additions, but the execution is lacking, and the English translation is suspect, depriving the conversations of tone and authenticity.
