Each of these computers will have lots of data such as personal documents, corporate calendars and emails. Some might even have a webcam that will allow the player to sneak a peek. Unknown to the player, this journey will lead down a deep dark rabbit hole that is filled with secrets and unbelievable conspiracies.
