Corruption

About

Corruption is a text-driven adventure game set in a gritty, fictionalized London where corporate greed and criminal schemes collide. You play a rising business figure caught in a web of fraud and betrayal after being framed for insider trading. The gameplay revolves around conversing with colleagues, rivals, and criminals to uncover secrets, manipulate trust, and survive the cutthroat environment. Choices matter as you navigate moral dilemmas and uncover hidden motives through a command-line interface that responds to natural language input. The game stands out for its dense character interactions and branching dialogue options, offering over 15 distinct personalities to engage with. Its graphical elements, while simple by modern standards, use blocky art to mirror the stark contrasts of financial power and urban decay. The script leans into adult themes with sharp dialogue and morally ambiguous scenarios. Though dated, it remains a brisk, cerebral pick for fans of narrative puzzles and 80s-era interactive fiction.

Storyline

You're on the fast track. At last, a partnership in the firm. With perks... new car, new office, new secretary. This is the life. Wake up. This is the real world. The underworld. The city of London, where high-finance and low double deals are commonplace. Where drugs, gambling and big money talk. And you? You find yourself the victim of a frame-up... the chief suspect in an insider trading scandal. And to survive, you have to be as devious, if not more so, than the rest.
