The Subject

The Subject is a sci-fi puzzle game with horror elements and the visual style of early 1980s sci-fi. In 2290, commercial prisons are commonplace, and prisoners can be sold at auction for any use without legal consequences. You are one of the prisoners acquired in a bulk order for BioMass Labs and are being transported to its Kohate testing facilities, where you do not know what the study involves.

The story

As humanity spread across the galaxy, crime became harder to control and laws grew stricter. Government efforts expanded and emboldened law enforcement, while people increasingly accepted its reach in the hope of feeling safe. Over time, the first fully commercially operated prison systems emerged. Nearly a century later, everyday people can receive years in prison for minor offenses, and the distinction between prisoner and person has widened. Hundreds of commercial prisons and law enforcement companies now thrive; prison overcrowding and the devaluation of prisoners’ lives have led to the auction system.

You have been secretly taken, placed aboard a transport shuttle and are waiting for law enforcement to hand you over to BioMass Labs.

Navigate the complex

You explore the complex to reach its testing rooms and collect the items needed to progress through the maze. The people running the tests monitor you, and you must visit a bio-data terminal periodically to record your vital signs and other data. If you fail to do so, you will be euthanized and removed from testing.
