The Man Came Around is a survival game with narrative choices. Play five activists fleeing a police state. Cross the border. Evade the cops. Scavenge resources. Survive the elements. Will you put your group at risk to help others along the way, or betray your principles to survive?

The Man Came Around is a survival game filled with thorny moral dilemmas. Occida, one of the world's most powerful nations, is shaken by mass protests. As the fight between The Many -an activist organization- and the government intensifies, the protesters face brutal repression. Play five citizens trying to leave this mess. Your only hope is to cross the Northern Border, a heavily guarded fence lost in the mountains. You'll face grave dangers during your journey, from harsh elements to corrupt cops. Manage your scarce resources, take tough decisions, and make the best of your group's abilities to escape this lethal maze. But remember: sometimes staying alive is not the same as doing the right thing… Will you sacrifice your principles to survive?
