This is a very interesting stealth game that's in the first-person, much like games like Thief, however, the focus here is of espionage and in regards to England in 1987 and the anger against Immigrants, which mirrors many current political issues in the country where I live.
It starts out covering the events the led to this women being cornered in her home by a man who looks like he just screams 1950s, interviewing her and claiming that this act is what the country needs, to bring stability and that there are "people on our doorstep who want to harm us" all of which are weak and yet common arguments you hear all the time in nationalist circles. First you play as her attempting to download the data from the servers and failing, but after that you play as a journalist who is investigating the man who accused of bombing the facility and investigating his claims of innocence along with the company and the "Union Act" that it is attempting to get the public to vote for, but you soon find that things aren't what they seem.
The retro feel of the game is welcome, especially as I was born in 87 and I remember using Floppy Discs for PCs, but the music is also fun too. The AI is interesting as even if you aren't caught in a room where the alarm is going off, the guards will still regard you with suspicion because these alarms weren't going off BEFORE you arrived here.
The negatives are the few bugs still in the game where I've been caught in a wall, but it was rare and if you mess up, you need to restart that chapter which can be a real pain if you messed up one thing and now you have to go all the way back through unskippable sequences. However, the characters are fun enough that it doesn't bother you too much.

I personally had a lot of fun streaming this and even did a second playthrough so I could get all the evidence needed for the interview and put the people on the backfoot with evidence.
