Produit par Succubus Interactive à la demande de la MGP, le jeu Brigade sensibilise les membres des forces de sécurité, et plus particulièrement les policiers, aux risques psycho-sociaux auxquels les expose leur métier. Brigade se déroule dans un univers graphique très stylisé proche des comic books. Plongé dans cette atmosphère captivante, le joueur évolue tout au long de l’intrigue dans de nombreux niveaux, en interagissant avec son environnement et avec différents personnages. Les expressions du visage soignées rendent les dialogues particulièrement vivants. Gérés grâce à l’outil Serious Talk créé par Succubus Interactive, ces dialogues sont non linéaires et interactifs. Brigade laisse en effet au joueur la possibilité de choisir parmi différentes réponses qui changeront le cours de l’histoire. Brigade intègre une véritable approche multijoueurs et sociale. Le jeu est disponible sur PC, smartphones et tablettes.

After a major bio-weapon attack on London, two scientists find themselves in a locked-down laboratory with time, and air, running out. With interactive gameplay, your actions and your relationship with other characters will lead you to one of eight suspenseful endings. Having treated the victims of a chemical attack in the totalitarian state of Kindar, Dr Amy Tenant is a leader in the advancement of Nanocell Technology. Now, in London, news breaks of a blood-vomiting civilian whose identity is far from coincidental. Reunited with an old friend, Amy is trapped in an impenetrable HQ of laboratories—a womb of scientific advancement with a perilous secret. The Complex is written by Lynn Renee Maxcy, part of the Emmy award-winning writing team from The Handmaid’s Tale. The interactive movie stars Michelle Mylett (Letterkenny), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones) and Al Weaver (Grantchester). Relationship Tracking Throughout the game you will interact with characters and — depending on your choices — will either strengthen or weaken your relationship. The relationship scores are calculated from the start right through to the very end and will affect certain scenarios as well as having major consequences in the concluding scenes. Personality Tracking For every decision you make, every interaction, your character’s personality is being tracked. At the end of each playthrough, you are rewarded with a Personality Score and a breakdown to see how you played the game. Discover the five basic dimensions of a personality; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Which of those will your character play?
