Foundations

Foundations is a short, story-driven point-and-click demo about two escaped prisoners, L.T. and R.T., spending their first night of freedom together. Still bound to each other by a chain, they must cooperate to escape an industrial maze while weighing their dependence on one another against the possibility of betrayal.

Escape the factory

You guide the prisoners through fuse boxes and factory lines, using each one's strengths to make up for the other's mental and physical limits. The chain linking them also limits how far apart they can move. You control L.T. and R.T. independently, both while moving and during conversations.

Trust and betrayal

L.T. and R.T. are bound to people they barely know, who have been convicted of crimes they had never heard about. With no clear knowledge of each other's intentions, they must decide how much to trust one another to survive and when deceit might keep them safe. Spoken words and unspoken thoughts can affect that balance.

Observe the factory

You watch the world from above through the factory's security system and listen to environmental sounds made with custom foley. The game also includes menus designed for the role of an investigative observer and an original soundtrack. The demo lasts about 15 minutes.
