Need to Know is a narrative‑driven surveillance thriller and investigative simulation that casts you as a new analyst in the NSA‑like Department of Liberty. In this dystopian world, you’re tasked with monitoring citizens’ digital lives to judge who’s dangerous — sorting through emails, messages, social media, and location logs to detect threats and determine your next move. The game puts moral choice at its core: will you uphold privacy, exploit secrets for personal gain, or assist underground groups in exposing abuses of power? Each decision shapes your character’s rise through the Department’s ranks and dramatically influences the evolving plot.
Missions function as puzzle‑like assignments where you weigh evidence, interpret behavior, and decide how to act — sometimes with ambiguous outcomes that test your ethics and judgement. Alongside the main storyline, every profile contains complex biographical details that reveal unique human narratives, making each case feel personal and thought‑provoking. With chapter‑based storytelling and consequential outcomes based on your choices, Need to Know critiques modern surveillance society and invites players to reflect on the balance between security and freedom.
