Project Overview
[Synopsis]: The quiet small town of Silver Oak has been overrun recently. Not by corrupt politicians or heightened crime, but by the contractors of hell itself! Seven Representatives of the Netherworld are here to play a game of collecting contracts, and put all of the common folk in danger by hiding in plain sight! But fear not, the Hymns from Above are here to bring you all to salvation, and the punish the wicked! How you may ask? Why, by beating them at their own game of course! The lives of a few sinners and such will save millions, but do you think it is worth it?
------------
Your Choices will effect how the story unfolds:
Will you stand with the Angels, fighting for virtue and purity by playing their game as intended?
Perhaps the Demons of Hell will strike your fancy more, falling further to temptation and rebellion?
Or…. Will you stand your own ground? The decisions you make are your own after all. No one can force your hand...Right?
Regardless, This Choice is yours, and it WILL have dire consequences. Are you ready to play?
------------
[Format]: This will be an Interactive Video Series, separated into three acts, a prologue and an epilogue.
------------
[Major Points of Inspiration for this Project] include but is not limited to Your Turn to Die, Limbus Company, Milgram, and the Zero Escape Franchise.
