Neo Naarm. The not too distant future. The population has embraced technology to augment their senses and connect them to the ExoNet, an online layer of reality visible only to its users. Corrupt corporations encourage augmentation to distract the citizens from the city's decline as it continues down a late stage capitalistic spiral. You are Grant Grover, private detective. You are un-augmented, and your only access to the ExoNet is through primitive devices like smart phones and personal computers. Nonetheless, if you want to make rent you will need to take part in the new private eye gig economy, get yourself on the Gumshoe app, and solve some cases. One Game, Multiple Cases The Grant Grover Anthology is a collection of three distinct cases from Grant Grover's files, each of which can be completed in a single sitting. Each case uses a different combination of gameplay styles to tell Grant's story. A visual novel inspired by the likes of Citizen Sleeper and Disco Elysium. (45-60 minutes playtime) Grant Grover is reliving the traumatic memories of his search for a dangerous device sold by underground tech dealers.
