Manipulation is a roguelite mini-RPG built like an escape room. It’s designed to be quick but challenging, small but immersive, and easily re-playable when you fail. You play as a telepath trapped in a small facility whose only means of escape is to take control of the minds of the facility’s staff. The facility is aware of possible telepathic behaviour but is unaware you already have these powers. You’ll need to be careful who you speak to, what you say, and how you act. Should the facility staff become too suspicious overall, you’ll be discovered. Unfortunately your powers are also very limited in your current state. You’ll have a limited amount of time in each mind. The stronger the mind, the less time you’ll have. Stay in a mind too long and you’ll cause a psychotic break, which will, of course, lead to your eventual discovery. Balance your abilities to keep suspicion low, explore the facility, and uncover the truth about your existence as you find out how to escape from this unknown predicament.
