Inhuman Resources is a dark visual novel sent to me by Indie Asylum, and man, does it get dark fast. It starts out as just a woman being woken up by a phone call from her aunt. You can choose to ignore it or not. You can choose how to react. I ended up going on a job interview that my aunt set up for me, since she is also my landlady and I owe her money.
This is pretty much the most normal part of the game. The game also allows you to check out as much detail as you want, or as little. There are extra things you can look at and click on that will give you all sorts of information on the world around you. Some are as innocent as what the building looks like, but later on, much of it is less innocent.
Fast forward a bit to the actual job interview, and yes, I am skipping a bit to avoid spoilers, and it is heavily implied that the man you are speaking to has been around for a while. What is less implied and is outright stated, the company you are interviewing for has, for a very long time, been intervening with much of human history to decide how it will flow. For example, you are listening to the only record (I do literally mean record) that exists of what was supposed to be the most famous duo in the world. Instead, we got the Beatles. This man liked the music and saved this single record. It is worth pointing out that the game takes place in modern times.
After getting the job, the game takes an even darker turn, one that I can’t truly explain without giving away the plot. Suffice it to say, if you like something a bit more mature that is happy to explore deeper and darker tones, including corporate espionage, secret cabals that control the world, and insane medical practices, this is the game for you. With multiple endings, there is plenty of reason to replay this. 9/10 for lovers of visual novels. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
