Game description
Callisto, the fourth Galilean moon of Jupiter, was humanity's first outpost outside of the asteroid belt. Because of this, cartels and criminals have ruled over the moon. Crime lords secretly run Callisto's government and decide how its citizens get to live. For most of Callisto's one billion residents, criminal life is all they are allowed to know. Either they work for the major houses that run the moon, or they die on the streets.

Following the aftermath of a major war within the Jovian system, tensions run high among the cartel bosses. Messages get sent back and forth, materials are stolen from each other, and some are absent from the mix entirely. For one local task runner, the stakes are higher than others.

Ken Koji desires to leave the moon behind and start a life beyond the crime, however, the bosses would consider him a valuable asset to the moon. Follow Ken as he tries to uncover truths around the bosses and their cartels, as they seem to be hiding more than they let on, especially when Ken becomes the center of a plot much larger than simply "escaping."

Theme interpretation
"Secrets" comes forth through the mystery of the overall plot. Ken and his companions seek to uncover what these bosses are hiding from the rest of the moon, especially when it becomes invaluable to clear Ken's name from the plot against him. Ultimately, up to the end of the novel, secrets could be had by any character. Uncover the secrets of Ken's past and discover what put him in the position he's currently in, as well as his plans for the future. His companions might harbor secrets themselves, as improving influence with them will give them time to disclose emotional scenes. Once certain conditions are met, a secret "true" route will become playable.
