Plot[]
The game's story centres around two things: the protagonist's quest for vengeance after her partner is shot, and the forthcoming release of the first issue of the Multiverse Monitor. In the case of the latter, the events differ somewhat from those known to have occurred, but since the game's ending retroactively removes the rest of the game from the timeline, this is okay.
Gameplay[]
It takes the form of a top-down exploration/puzzle game, and is fairly simple in both graphics and gameplay: the arrow keys move the protagonist around, and all interaction is done by walking into people or objects and navigating dialogue boxes with mouse clicks or the enter key. Most of the gameplay is exploring HQ, and there are only a few ways to actually lose the game: falling too far behind Starwind Rohana while she's leading you to the Multiverse Monitor's newsroom, being caught by the DIA near the end, and failing to kill the Mary Sue in the final level. The first two send you back to the beginning of the level in question, while the last kicks you back to the main menu. The game is also glitchy, with it being very possible to get stuck on terrain or in infinitely looping conversations with NPCs with no way out but exiting the game entirely.
