The game takes place in 2047 in Adrianopolis, an elitist utopian city within the capitalist World Union, a one world government made up of most major First World countries. In this society, disease and felonies have been nearly eliminated, and citizens are judged by numerical indices based on accumulation and skillfulness.

The World Union’s values are hedonistic and closely tied to social expectations. Marriage, called “nuptial contracts,” is obsolete, and relationships are treated as sexual and often emotionless liaisons. Citizens are also rated by an HDI, or Human Development Index.

The story follows World Union Peace Officer Phoenix Wallis as she investigates the murder of a fellow citizen in Odessa, Russia, a neighboring Rogue State. The game features multiple endings based on the player’s choices and actions.
