Description

Welcome to Powerless! The Interactive Doomsday Simulator. Explore London after a catastrophic solar flare plunges the city into darkness and renders all electronic devices and transport useless. Try and keep your Personas alive as you face the elements without help from the digital world. Powerless is an interactive fiction game which explores how electricity dominates our society and how much we would struggle without it.

Without electricity, how will you communicate? Without power, how will hospitals look after patients? Without running water, how will anyone survive? Filled with exciting survival situations, Powerless will test your knowledge of the natural world and push the limits of what you believe society is capable of.

Each challenge is narrated via an interactive story where you control every action. Will your choices help save lives or put your own in danger? The choice is yours.

As you move through the levels of Powerless, you will gain a Survival Rating based on how you behave in each level. Are you honest or will you lie to survive? Are you brave or will you avoid danger at all costs? Are you resourceful or are you clueless when it comes to survival? Will you help others, or will you only help yourself? As your rating improves, new adventures and Personas will be unlocked, it's up to you how you behave, but there will be consequences.

Throughout Powerless you will be guided by our A.I named MAUDE (Mobile Assessment Unit of Doomsday Events).

Answer MAUDE's psychological profiling questions and she will assign you different Londoners to test your metal in an apocalyptic London without electricity. Work your way through the levels with each Persona to see if you can become a survival master and complete the game
