The Tracer Sanction

The Tracer Sanction is a science-fiction adventure that combines investigation, exploration and puzzle solving in a setting where the future is considerably less peaceful than the brochures promised. You take the role of a tracer, investigating a case that gradually reveals a larger mystery involving technology and dangerous individuals. The game focuses on examining locations, collecting clues and working out what the story is actually trying to tell you, rather than throwing endless enemies into your path. Its futuristic environments have the distinctive flavor of early computer science fiction, when glowing terminals and mysterious laboratories were apparently the height of sophistication. The pace can be deliberate, but that gives the investigation room to breathe. The Tracer Sanction is a good fit for players who prefer their science fiction with puzzles, atmosphere and detective work instead of simply pointing a laser at everything that moves.
