Rumors have surfaced about a powerful artifact called The Codex Rhetorica… so powerful, we can’t risk it falling into the wrong hands. You must retrieve it by whatever means necessary.

As you unravel the mysteries of The Organization and learn the secrets of The Codex Rhetorica, you’ll be faced with questions of persuasion, analysis, and ‘social magic.’ You’ll make new friends, new enemies, and begin great investigations. But watch out- you never know who might be listening…

World 1 Boss Fight: The Games We Play

A strange force has eluded our grasp for weeks; followed everywhere by a impenetrable fog. We’re not sure what kind of monster lies behind its veil; but we’re going to need new tricks and new ideas if we hope to meet it on equal footing, and learn what The Organization is up to. And we’re going to need a powerful tool- one we don’t quite understand yet: The Codex Rhetorica.
