Players step into the role of a citizen in the dystopian world of Eden - the totalitarian successor to the US. By overcoming challenges across various channels inside and outside the game, players can raise their citizen score and increase their power to shape the narrative.
As the story unfolds, the entire community will have the opportunity to influence the plot and participate in key decision-making moments.
