The Initiate 2: The First Interviews

About this game

The Initiate 2: The First Interviews is a first person mystery puzzle game set in a secret remote location, and tells the story of three individuals as they try to escape their mysterious captors.




With little memory of how they got there, three people awake in adjacent cells. A voice bellows from a wall speaker. "Welcome to your trial - Your goal is simple, escape or die".

This is the story of Samantha Blake - a distraught mother who lost her child during complex brain surgery, Benjamin Clarke - an alcoholic whose life was turned upside down with the death of his wife in a horrific car accident and Stephen Parfitt - a college professor and author who is starting to give up on life with an ever changing World.

Three strangers - forced to work together to survive captivity - each searching the answers, the redemption and the peace of mind that they so desire.

Can you unravel the mystery behind your captivity, and most importantly, can you escape this treacherous and sinister ordeal?

Remember: No-one is safe. Nothing is as it appears.
