In the Dark
In The Game Is A Roleplaying Game (IGA)The game IGA features an original setting based in a near- future dystopian world where people have become reliant on advanced technology to live their lives, leaving them with little time for social interaction and meaningful connections. Players take the role of characters that work together through missions while navigating this dangerous environment filled with hidden dangers such as AI glitches, cyberbullying from virtual assistants like TelsaBoy, hostile mobs roaming in search-and-destroy operations or even police bots patrolling high security buildings called "The Vault". The game's mechanics include character creation and leveling up to gain experience points for various abilities. It also features a detailed guidebook that outlines the role of each player when it comes to combat, communication with NPCs (nonplayable characters), finding hidden areas in levels such as secret rooms or behind walls covered by virtual advertisements on screens around them, understanding maps through interactive popups and using tools like "The Vault" map-making app for creating custom maps. The game's release date is not yet specified but it has been well received so far with a high level of interest shown in its social media channels such as Twitter (IGA) and Discord groups dedicated to the genre, including IGA Fans!
