Developer's description
After ditching your military career, you return to your hometown – the enigmatic August City, where things are not what they seem. Strange occurrences are afoot, all seemingly linked to the mysterious Price Industries, a mega-corporation led by the cutthroat Goro Price that recently set up shop in your city. Spoiler Whispers of nefarious experiments begin to circulate, and despite the company's denial and the lack of concrete evidence, you find yourself drawn into a web of chilling secrets and otherworldly mysteries. Yet even as the tempest brews on the horizon with Price Industries at its core, the authorities remain curiously indifferent. The stakes are higher than ever, and the very lives of August City's residents hang in the balance. Will you step up and forge alliances to unmask the true nature of this malevolent force? The fate of the city lies in your hands. Discover the hidden truths that lurk beneath the shadows of August City in Unraveling August.
