Verum

About

Verum is a narrative-driven adventure game centered on choices that shape a story about ethics in technology and data privacy. You navigate interconnected side stories, each offering perspectives from people affected by corporate decisions. Gameplay focuses on dialogue options and decision points that influence outcomes. There is no combat or complex mechanics, just a series of scenarios where you weigh moral trade-offs between individual privacy and systemic power. The game’s structure leads to over a dozen endings based on how you prioritize conflicting values. Clean, minimalist visuals contrast with heavy themes, using stark environments to highlight tension between technology and humanity. Sound design leans into quiet moments, letting dialogue and consequences carry weight. At just four to six hours, it’s a concise but replayable experience. Community feedback notes its ability to spark reflection without heavy-handed messaging, making it a standout in narrative-focused indie games.
