EMPATHY: Madrugada to be Released this Friday

It’s (almost) here! This Friday will mark the public release of EMPATHY: Madrugada, a choose-your-own-destiny game set in the EMPATHY-verse. I had the chance to debut the game at the book launch party for Imminent Dawn last Friday, and those who played had a great—though challenging—time helping Chandra escape the Human/Etech research compound.

So get excited! Here’s some more of what you can expect from the game as you play.

Screen Shot 2019-02-17 at 9.20.49 AMUse the cerenet to connect with others on the compound!

Worried about spoilers? Don’t be! Though the game ties into moments from the book, it’s independent from the actual plot.
