Oath of Fealty
What's it about
What if a city could protect you from everything, but demanded your absolute loyalty in return? Discover a near-future Los Angeles where an arcology named Todos Santos offers its citizens perfect safety and prosperity, but at a cost. Is this the future of urban living, or a gilded cage? You'll explore the complex social contract between the arcology's managers and its residents. Learn how their advanced technology and private police force create a utopian society, but also challenge our ideas of freedom, privacy, and what it truly means to belong to a community. This is a thrilling look at the price of security.
