--

Game One of the iDGi-1 Trilogy.

Taking place entirely aboard a massive futuristic aircraft, CONSORTIUM is a
first person science-fiction role-playing experience unlike any other. The
story begins in our world - the "real world" - where we here at
Interdimensional Games have developed a satellite (iDGi-1) capable of
opening a digital rift through time and space...

Anyone with an internet connection can travel through this rift and awaken
within an alternate dimension from our own - the "game world" - in the
year 2042.

Features:

* Considered the first of three planned games, each containing their own
fully resolvable story arcs but linked by the concept and a much larger
design to the story and its countless mysteries.
* Immerse yourself into the complete interactive story of what happens aboard
the C-3800-D "ZENLIL" Consortium Command vessel on December 21st, 2042...
* Built with a modified version of the SOURCE engine, explore ZENLIL, a
living and highly interactive environment with complete freedom and agency.
Includes turbulence and non-scripted decompression events!
* Engage with a cast of over 20 people with an innovative and life like
conversation system with over 4,000 lines of fully voiced dialogue. OR...
don't engage with them at all and choose to never speak a word!
* Experience an all original orchestral score by award winning composer Jeremy
Soule
* Engage in a deep mystery concerning an on-board murder and a large band of
mercenaries who seem to want YOU dead.
* Dive into a world with well over 150,000 words of back-story and lore, where
everything you read, see, speak, or hear relates to the story and characters,
and everything is there for a reason.
* A highly original energy based inventory system with original sci-fi weapons,
gadgets and armor.
* The story unfolds based largely on your actions. You may use diplomacy and
talk your way through the entire game - never shooting anyone! OR, decide to
use deadly or non-lethal force.
* Forge lasting relationships with the crew of ZENLIL, and alter the course of
the story through your actions. Your choices will change your play
experience, and subsequent playthroughs offer the chance to make different
decisions and see all new outcomes.
* Regardless of what you choose to do or not, the experience always moves
forward, adapting seamlessly to YOU.
