Available right now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, The Occupation drops you into the shoes of a journalist who needs to navigate their way through the mess of an explosion. Tasked with investigating a blast that threatens to erode the very civil liberties of those living within North West England, you’ll find yourself questioning anyone you can find, all in order to discover the truth behind the controversial act that has threatened the world.
How you go about that is completely up to – after all, you are the reporter and the choices you make will have a big impact on the lives of those caught up in the madness. Do you go direct with your questioning, with no beating around the bush, or do you prefer to take your time, creating a picture of events in your head before settling in for the long haul? With events that take place in real time, you may just not have that chance.

The usual digital stores will give up a download provided you stump up the cash – the Xbox Store has The Occupation sitting pretty with a £19.99 price tag – or alternatively you may just find yourself able to nab a physical copy too.

Game Description:
The Occupation is a first-person, fixed-time, immersive sim and investigative thriller set in North West England on October 24, 1987.

An explosion has triggered a controversial act, which threatens to erode civil liberties of the population, to be rushed into place. You must sneak, hack, and investigate, all while questioning people on their actions from a tumultuous night which resulted in the loss of many lives. Each person has a different account of the night’s event, and you must use the tools at your disposal to get the results you need for your investigation. Will you take the most direct route at the risk of getting caught, or plan your approach carefully whilst precious time ticks by? Events happen in real-time and you must make decisions based on the evidence.
