Today, Iceberg Interactive and Dragon Slumber announced that they will release the narrative adventure game Tech Support: Error Unknown on PC, Mac, and Linux next February. The game will put you in the role of a tech support specialist as you help others and find a secret resistance that you can report or join.
“On behalf of Quasar Telecommunications, I am happy to welcome you to our family. You are part of our exciting new program allowing technical support specialists to work directly from home. Your new Spectrum system will connect you directly to our customers through the Support Desk.”
Tech Support: Error Unknown is an adventure game with simulation and puzzle mechanics, which places you in front of a virtual computer. As a tech support specialist new to the job, use a wide array of computer software to solve customer issues or choose to manipulate programs for personal gain. Hack your system to unlock its full potential, GPS track lost phones, scan profiles to blackmail customers, or simply propose they reboot.
While on the job, you discover a conflict between your corporate employer and an anonymous rogue hacktivist group, trying to take them down. Will you climb the corporate ladder, secretly join the hacktivists, or help the police expose them? Alternatively, will you pursue a more personal agenda? The choice is yours.
Dragon Slumber’s Kevin Giguère says: ”I wanted to present the opposite perspective to a situation most of us are familiar with and dread: dealing with tech support specialists”, developer Kevin Giguère explained. “I think players will be charmed by the fresh and different experience the game has to offer.”
