The Occupation

The Occupation is a first-person investigative thriller set in an alternate version of 1980s Britain. You play a journalist examining a terrorist bombing and its political consequences while working against a fixed schedule that forces you to decide what evidence matters most.

Gameplay and features: Explore a large government building, search offices, inspect documents, question people, and use computers and objects to uncover connections. Time-driven investigation: each scenario unfolds through a structured timetable, so following routines, planning routes, and choosing when to take risks are as important as finding clues. Open-ended problem-solving: there is more than one way to gather information, and your observations can change how you understand the case.

Story and world: The Occupation presents a tense political mystery through offices, interviews, surveillance, and conflicting accounts of a public crisis. As the journalist moves through a society shaped by fear and debate, the investigation becomes a test of attention, judgment, and the ability to reconstruct events from incomplete evidence.
