Hill Agency: PURITYdecay

Set in the year 2762, *Hill Agency: PURITYdecay* invites players to step into the shoes of Meeygen Hill, a tough private investigator navigating the vibrant yet shadowy streets of one of North America’s last major Indigenous metropolises. This Indigenous cybernoir detective game unfolds in a richly imagined future where colonial oppression is on the brink of being dismantled. Meeygen’s quiet routine is shattered when a mysterious woman from the towering elite district known as Risen City arrives, seeking help to solve her sister’s murder—an investigation that quickly reveals layers of corruption and conspiracy stretching far beyond the city’s neon-lit neighborhoods. The narrative blends influences from classic noir, *Blade Runner*, and *Ghost in the Shell*, painting a vivid world steeped in Cree language and culture, where ancient histories clash with high-tech urban life. Gameplay in *Hill Agency: PURITYdecay* emphasizes thoughtful detective work and player-driven investigation. Rather than guiding players explicitly, the game challenges them to explore the city, gather clues, interview witnesses, and piece together evidence on their own terms. Success hinges on intuition and persistence, as accusations must be made with conviction and careful reasoning. Beyond solitary sleuthing, players can cultivate networks and rebuild Meeygen’s connections, unlocking deeper insights into the city’s secrets and its forgotten past through ancient search terminals scattered around. This blend of immersive storytelling, complex world-building, and open-ended detective mechanics creates a tense and atmospheric experience that pushes players to think like a real investigator in a future shaped by Indigenous resilience and cybernetic intrigue.
