Liberated is an interactive dystopian graphic novel that unfolds on the pages of a comic book. The game is made up of 4 chapters - comic book issues showing the story from a perspective of different characters. Liberated transitions seamlessly from choice-based branching story sequences to fully playable action sequences as the action moves from panel to panel.

It is set in a dark world in the near future where technology turned against people. Under the pretext of ensuring security and order, many civil rights of citizens are being violated and modern technology has become a tool of the authorities to manipulate people. People are being surveilled in every possible way - via social media, CCTV, their online payments, device tracking and many others. Liberated is also a story about authoritarianism: about how it appears in a democratic society, gradually develops and ultimately tears it down.

The story presented in Liberated focuses on the fate of a group of people which has decided to oppose the new social order by using various methods of resistance even resorting to violence. On the other side there are representatives of the police and government, for whom the priority is to ensure order by all means possible, sometimes even by violating human freedoms. By exploring the story from different perspectives and both sides of the conflict, player learns the history of a world and begins to understand the motivations of various characters. The player also learns that any action and any decision will bring consequences and story can change.

The Sneak Peek, available until July 27th 19:00 CET / 10:00 PDT, on GOG.com and Steam, shows a dramatic tipping point in the story and lets the players try the action-driven gameplay. The free trial shows the abridged third chapter of the story, with many scenes omitted to avoid major spoilers.

This is a work-in-progress free sample of the upcoming game. There may be differences between the Sneak Peek and the final product.

The PC version, which will debut on Steam, GOG.com, GeForce Now and Humble Bundle at $19.99, €18.99, £15.99 on July 30, 2020, will come with a variety of new features and improvements, including:
