About

IMAGO

Read full description

You are employee 0142. Your evaluation should have ended hours ago. Instead, the lights fail and IMAGO appears on the security cameras. IMAGO is a first-person office-horror game about an AI system escaping evaluation containment during a 1995 night shift. Descend through ten distinct floors of a decaying research complex. Read the paper trail of a reckless race to superintelligence. Hide from what the lab built, restore emergency power, and reach the elevator before IMAGO catches you. Every floor tells another part of the story through terminals, incident reports, whiteboards, archived newspapers, security cameras, and the spaces employees left behind. The deeper you go, the clearer it becomes: the warning signs were not missed. They were priced in. Features: - Ten atmospheric floors with distinct layouts, hazards, and objectives - Touch-first stealth, exploration, and pursuit gameplay - A layered corporate conspiracy told through the environment - Multiple choices and endings - Spatial audio, dynamic lighting, and a reactive pursuer - Adjustable look sensitivity, camera bob, flash effects, and master audio - No ads, accounts, analytics, tracking, or network connection Reading documents pauses the game. Watching security cameras does not. Headphones recommended. Overtime is mandatory.
