CLOSEDLOOP

---

| Summary |

---

CLOSEDLOOP is a cyberpunk thriller set in a not-so distant future of corporate intrigue, neon soaked skies, and wanton violence.

You are a good Citizen, loyal, hardworking. Not like you had any reason not to be, the Corporation treats you well; they gave you this life, you should be grateful. You should be more grateful. But you keep your head down, you do your job, you abide by the law.

On the morning of October 28th, 2080, you receive a message. The message is from CONTROL. You have a new job to do. What happens next - you cannot remember. A blurry gap in your memories filled with fading recollections of violence and terror as you wake again in your apartment.

On the morning of October 28th, 2080, you receive a message. The message is from CONTROL. You have a new job to do. There is blood on your hands. You have new Associates. They do not ask about the blood on your hands.

On the morning of October 28th, 2080, you receive a message. The message is from CONTROL. Something is wrong. There is blood on your hands. You have new Associates. Something is wrong. You have a new job to do. Something is wrong. On the morning of October 28th, 2080, you realize something is horribly wrong.

Today - yesterday - tomorrow - all the same.

There is no escape. Break the loop. Die trying.
