About This Game

The Oversight Bureau welcomes you to the C.U.T.E programme.

C.U.T.E: Cognitive Utility Training Environment

You are candidate 404. This is not the name your mother gave you but the one you’ve now been assigned. They said you volunteered - but at the end of the day, attendance is mandatory and compliance is compulsory. 

Good news: You will remain in the C.U.T.E. programme until you’ve demonstrated yourself to be a more appropriate, more compliant member of society. In even better news, you will be eligible for reintegration in 13,674 days.

Day in, day out, you run the gauntlet. Enduring simulations designed to strip away who you are, and become who you could be. The programme is the first of its kind, and prides itself on being a sans-human facility.

There will be no escaping, 404. The only way out is through...

A voice-driven narrative adventure

In The Oversight Bureau, you'll talk to and collaborate with the unique characters around the facility and uncover the secrets of the Bureau. You'll undergo psychological evaluations, be put on the spot with crisis training exercises, and navigate elaborate puzzle chambers with the C.U.T.E robots by your side. At the end of each day, you can return to your hub to rest and, depending on your performance, receive some bureau-approved Screen Time.

Iconic's Narrative Engine runs entirely on-device on almost any PC (as long as you have a mic!), and allows you to talk to our characters without waiting for responses. This is not a chatbot - experience the crafted story in your own words.
