Having served two tours of duty in
Vietnam , an average guy
returns home to find
a city now ravaged by crime, corruption, and social inequality. In a situation such as this, there’s only one way out for a lonely, desperate man…
…to take justice into his own hands.In
The Vigilante Diaries, players slip into the role of a
masked vigilante, defining not only his appearance, but his
rules, methods, and red lines: Will you be a
chivalrous crimefighter or a fearsome and
ruthless avenger? Will you prioritize protecting the innocent or will your crusade for justice come before everything and everyone? It's up to you to decide.
In the Vigilante's Journal, you will be faced with choices in a raw account of the struggles, hardships, and pivotal moments that shaped an average man into a masked vigilante, and the events that followed. You can customize your alter ego's name, appearance, and even the lines he will not cross as a crime fighter.
As the Vigilante, you will
monitor police radio calls, watch the TV news, and even
solve complex riddles sent by a serial killer.
When necessary, you'll have to search for information around the hideout and use it to work out how to correctly act in certain situations in the Journal, and
make the right choice.
You are not a role model. Not a hero. Maybe you’ll even become a villain. It all depends on you.
In
The Vigilante Diaries every action has political significance: you can
fight for equality, rights, and justice. You can
fight for law and order. You can be a
non-lethal crimefighter or the exact opposite. Whatever you choose, one thing’s certain...
...this city fears you.The Vigilante Diaries will be part of the
anthology An Out of the Blue Story, a set of narrative experiences that will put players in the shoes of characters throughout history in multiple situations, unusual in the world of videogames, and that will always look for an answer to the same question,
“How far would you go to survive?”.
