02 — The Game
The therapist
will see you now.
Worthless. Nobody cares. You'll fail again. Each one starts as a whisper, then the screen fills with them. Pick a hero who's barely holding it together, pair a weapon with an ability, and survive the swarm long enough for the boss to show up. The boss is your diagnosis. You close the case, or you don't.
Survive the swarm.
Survive yourself.
You either close the case. Or you don't.
