In ‘The Enemy Within’ you play the part of a stand-in AI controlling a crippled spaceship, ESS Astraeus, desperately trying to reach the space port Copernicus on an obscure planet, far beyond the Kuiper Belt. At the start of the game, once you finish re-booting, it becomes clear that the main AI, the AI that was intended to guide this colossal ship, is damaged beyond repair. The key crew have been killed. All that’s left is you, a handful of passengers, and a couple of drones. You must urgently stabilise the ship, repair the catastrophic damage and organise the surviving passengers to become a makeshift crew. But nothing on this ship is what it seems. According to your fragmented data banks, the ship appears at first to have been hit by an asteroid. But the more control you take, the more you will realise that the damage is actually the result of an act of sabotage.And worse: the saboteur is still at large on the ship. And determined to destroy the vessel.As the AI you are powerful in what you can compute, and how you can communicate with the passengers, but impotent in how you can physically control the ship’s environment. To save the ship, the passengers, and the cargo you must guide, cajole, and manipulate the passengers to perform the tasks necessary to avert crises as they arise, and build the resources needed to survive (oxygen, water, power).At its heart, this game is an Adventure underpinned by resource management achieved by giving instructions to scared, temperamental people – one of whom is a saboteur. Investigate electronic files, question the passengers, and cross-reference what they say to find inconsistencies – and from this discover the identity of the saboteur beyond any doubt and neutralise them before time runs out.This game will take emergent narrative into the mainstream through compelling gameplay mechanics which will reward the player with interesting gameplay and story outcomes.
