"We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form."
— William Ralph Inge, The Idea of Progress, 1920
BACKGROUNDThe year is 2005. The war in Iraq rages on, a relentless machine chewing through headlines, resources, and lives. Casualties spiral. Aid for the Marines, and for the soul of the nation, is desperately needed. A government-backed "scientific corporation of the future" ARKTOS steps forward, offering a revolutionary solution: Project PERICULUM.
The program's stated goal is to identify and cultivate a new tier of operative through a series of advanced, simulations called "Mandates." Volunteers will have their endurance, morality, and survival instincts tested to forge the ultimate soldier.
DESCRIPTIONWelcome to Noirgami's first original and most ambitious project yet. One Hundred Hands is a horror co-op game inspired by The Outlast Trials set in an alternate version of history. Step into the shoes of a "Candidate" inside "The Maw" facility below Camp Peary, and face the truth of our history with strangers, enemies, or friends.
We want your help in bringing our beautifully tragic, mysterious, twisted world to life! More rounds will be made as more "Mandates" are in development.
Hey all! Thanks for all the submissions—I have been really impressed by some. Regarding the ones that I couldn't have chosen, I am considering making another page sooner or later.
See you all soon!
Hey all, Gray here once again! I apologize if I haven't been replying to your submissions, you know how life is with getting in the way of things and distractions. I will reply and decide soon, promise!
With that, I have extended the deadline again, because I had to get someone to help me out. Hopefully, I should get this casting call wrapped up by a few days.

Soviet espionage operations continued during the Cold War. The Venona project, declassified in 1995 by the Moynihan Commission, contained extensive evidence of the activities of Soviet spy networks in America.
Chekist - this person was a spy who worked for or at least associated themselves with the soviets during the Iron Tide War. After their unit was ambushed, they were captured and handed over to ARKTOS for "therapy." What survives of them now is a fractured mind and a speech pattern that blends Russian with English.
(when pinging Songbird, quiet) "Radio-lisa!"
("I need to be healed" ping wheel option, desperate) "Privet! I require aid! Please!"
(helping up downed Candidate) "Vstavay, soldat!"
The psyche of US citizens during the Cold War was unstable due to the overwhelming sense of fear, powerlessness, and uncertainty about the future.
An ordinary citizen plucked from South Carolina streets and told to serve ARKTOS or see their family erased.
(hopeless) "Mother? Father? Are you praying for me, to save me from this madness?"
(pinging Songbird) "The voice!"
Women were pivotal in many aspects throughout the Cold War. They were soldiers, pilots, code breakers, nurses, and more.
A small-town woman dragged from quiet streets into ARKTOS' Mandates, carrying the weight of survival rather than duty.
(helping up downed Candidate) "Come on, let's get you up..."
(putting her hand out to give item) "Does anyone want this?"
(pinging Elias) "Crazy bastard."
The fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) is a small fox native to the deserts of North Africa, ranging from Western Sahara and Mauritania to the Sinai Peninsula. Its most distinctive feature is its unusually large ears, which serve to dissipate heat and listen for underground prey.
Originally known as Sergeant Lucille DeWitt, a decorated communications operative dishonorably discharged under charges of “psychosexual misconduct” during the early Iron Tide conflict. Songbird is an anthropomorphic fennec fox Zypher wearing Iron Tide War era equipment, her radiopack helping find Candidates who are making noises - at the cost of being more visible.
(singing gently) "Three little soldiers, lost in the dark… one found a rifle, one lost her heart…"
(talking to self, spotted Candidate) "Contact! Engage and neutralize!"
Ruby’s death was initially blamed on illness. The truth was buried. But ARKTOS took notice. A boy with a myth for a surname and a taste for blood. A boy whose existence could be weaponize.
Elias was born to a woman whose name never entered the public record. She worked at a diner near Love Field Airport and reportedly knew Lee Harvey Oswald during his early return from the Soviet Union. Under the guise of a "war photographer," in 1976, Elias had created a series of underground films that were said to contain "even most of the sickening things." One copy of a tape known as "Yip Yap" surfaced in a London rental shop, igniting the Video Nasties controversy of the 1980s.
(chuckling to self) "One lie erases another. Good one, Ruby."
(talking to self) "I love me these fluffy things."
(spotted Candidate) "Well, it is all over now!"
