Believe

Today is your last day as an employee at Airtime Media. Make your way from Reception to Neighbourhood 16 in Airtime Central, and kill the CEO. You may have to fight misinformation on the way there.

Due to the Roguelike nature of the game, it is impossible to experience the whole story in one single (successful) playthrough. Replayability is encouraged.

Airtime Media was developed in the span of 2 weeks: with an unreleased prototype for the 7DRL Challenge 2024, and finalized for NaNoRenO 2024.

I set the protagonists name as my own, and ended up finishing the game as him. Having the game tell me that I killed someone while using my real name, made me feel so bad lol.

Great fun poking through the dungeon crawling stuff. And the 2 versions of the manual are not to be missed.
