One mistake is all it takes.
At the gate of the Inner Circle, every decision you make decides who gains power — and who shouldn’t have it.
Some visitors are lying. Some are dangerous. Some will look completely harmless.
Your job is simple: let the right ones in.
The reality is anything but.
Inspect, Detect, Decide
Analyze visitors through documents, behavior, and interrogation.
Search for inconsistencies, contradictions, and hidden intent. A missing detail or a single hesitation can reveal the truth, or mislead you completely.
Every Decision Has Consequences
Approve the wrong person and you risk losing control.
Detain the wrong one and you punish the innocent.
Visitors will pressure you, manipulate you, and test your judgment.
You will make mistakes and you will have to live with them.
The Protocol Is Not Absolute
The Entry Validation Protocol gives you structure, but it won’t save you.
As you progress, rules become less reliable and cases more complex.
Not everything can be explained. Not everything should be trusted.
At some point, you stop following the system… and start making your own calls.
Progress Deeper Into the System
Earn money, return to your apartment, and invest in upgrades.
Unlock new tools, mechanics, and more demanding inspections.
The better you perform, the more responsibility you gain — and the harder it becomes to walk away.
You Are Being Watched
Your decisions are tracked.
Your performance is judged.
Your loyalty is questioned.
Hold the line.
Or become part of what you’re trying to control.
