Key Features
As you explore Moniker's halls, you'll meet several people who have all been affected by the corporation in some capacity. These unique individuals come from a variety of backgrounds and express themselves in distinctive ways. This makes your dialogue choices very important if you want them to trust you, reveal secrets, help you in your endeavors, or depending on what you find most important; flirt!
