About Donutal
You awaken from a cold sleep and suddenly find yourself in the year 2206. What you once knew as the International Space Station is now the International Space Port - a gateway for aliens coming to Earth. Crushed by a massive, unexplained debt, you’re forced into a job you never asked for: Chief Xeno Inspector.
Seems simple enough, just wave in the friendly aliens and turn away the dangerous ones. However, make the wrong call and Earth could be destroyed. No pressure though, right?
System Features
Group-Based Screening: Examine a group of up to eight aliens. Analyze their collective information to spot patterns, inconsistencies, or red flags
Simultaneous Interrogation: You can summon up to two aliens from the group into the interrogation room. Conversation between them may reveal hidden information.
Conversation is Your Tool: There is no paperwork here. Listen carefully to what they say, who they suspect, and who they protect, to make your judgment.
Chemistry Matters: Lovers, strangers, rival species... An applicant's answers may change depending on who is next to them.
A Story Shaped by Your Decisions: The future of Earth changes based on the results of your screenings.
