Belonging

Belonging is a first-person adventure game about a cult and its victims. As the hacktivist Jayce, you are scouting the abandoned estate of the Entelechism cult. You are there to find data you can leak to the public and uncover uncomfortable truths about what happened to the people that lived there.

Explore the remains of a reclusive community

Entelechism is a community devoted to self-optimization. Its members spend their days pursuing perfection in all aspects of life. A cause that seems innocent or even worthwhile on the surface, reveals its dark sides when manipulative actors take control. What other secrets are the Entelechism leaders hiding?
Inspired by real-life cult survivor stories this game makes sure the player understands how human it is to fall for the narrative cults peddle. The story builds empathy for people we might think are lost or worse irredeemable.

Collect and decide what data should be leaked to the public while unlocking every door inside the cult estate to reveal what suddenly made the cult disappear.
