The Game

Embark on a thrilling rescue mission in "The Social Grip," a gripping stealth game set in a future where Trig, the all-powerful social media company, ruthlessly kidnaps whoever dares speak against them. 

It is up to you to guide the hostage Dan, the fearful llama, through Trig's impenetrable headquarters. Utilize hacked security cameras as your viewpoints, carefully navigating the labyrinthine building and eluding vigilant guards.

With each step, the tension builds. Your every move must be calculated, as a single misstep could mean capture. Unleash your stealth prowess, outsmart the enemy, and guide Dan to safety.

"The Social Grip" offers an immersive, second-person experience where your decisions determine the fate of the hostages. Will you be able to free Dan out of Trig's tight grasp?
