Better Than Us

The year is 2200. A handful of people own everything—not just companies or governments, but the future of humanity itself. You're a manipulator and thief, and you're going to gaslight them they way they've gaslit us for centuries to steal it back.

From the BAFTA-nominated creators of Vampire Therapist comes another deeply researched dark comedy game studying the world's most overvalued people in Better Than Us. Inspired by *The Count of Monte Cristo, Thief: The Dark Project, Pentiment, Inventing Anna, *the works of Terry Pratchett, and 5-star hotels in OPEC countries (look them up; they're horrifying), you'll explore an all-too familiar future directly inspired by the most nefarious billionaires of the past and present.

Infiltrate exclusive parties thrown by the ultra-wealthy across floating cities they had to build to save themselves from the climate apocalypses they created. Your targets aren't just rich—they don't buy sports cars and mansions, they buy elections and theological development. They've monopolized AI development to ensure machines serve their interests, not humanity's. They've spent centuries perfecting the art of capturing not just wealth, but moral authority itself.

Your greatest weapon isn't stealth or violence—it's your ability to lie. Tell different stories to different people. Remember who you told what. Build a web of deception so intricate that even the powerful can't see through it. But slip up once—contradict yourself, forget a detail—and everything unravels.

• Tell Lies, Remember Lies - It doesn't matter what you say. It matters that you remember what you said, and to whom. Track your deceptions or watch them collapse around you.
• Extraordinary Voice Acting - Better Than Us will include an all-star cast led by Sarah Grayson (Hades II, Vampire Therapist, Gone Home), joined by Cyrus Nemati (Hades II, Vampire Therapist, Duck Detective) and more.
• Sneak Queen - Navigate lavish parties in an opulent post-apocalyptic world, sneak into places you don't belong, and steal what the wealthy value most: their stupid expensive crap.
