Truants

Weeks before classes are supposed to begin at Scrum University, professor adjunct Scott Bowers is having a lot of problems: one of his top students was expelled, and his teacher's assistant has gone missing. As if things couldn't get any worse, he finds himself being mysteriously contacted online by a young girl, who claims she's been forcibly committed to a "torture boot camp" for "video game addiction."



With several different applications at his disposal, Scott must browse through web pages and social media profiles, contact people of interest, and even download files from hacked computers. It is up to him to save the kids trapped in the behavioral center and discover why he’s being targeted by the dark forces who run it.



Inspired by true events, Truants is a mystery-puzzle computer simulator centered around the horrors of internet addiction rehabilitation centers in Eastern Asia. We invite you to dive headfirst into the twisted, intricate web of these notorious boot camps and experience the pain that they bring upon their victims through our story.
