Transcript:

Years ago, on the coast, a small fishing village grew into a small city, but with prosperity, crime soon followed. After years of unrest followed by the Agglomerate Wars, the city was nearly abandoned until the Kruger Uprising attracted many new businesses to the region. As the nation of Cascadia was founded in the year FY00, the city was renamed the city of Glass.

But some in Glass were unhappy about the growing influence of the Conglomerates. In November of FY34, a protest was held, but many were killed and the protesters were labelled terrorists. The Conglomerates used the chaos to impose laws and curfews on the citizens, now simply called "Employs". Conglomerate life was seemingly idyllic but had the Employs given up their freedom?

As Kruger Security policed the Employs, criminals hired Runners, parkour-inspired couriers who frequent the rooftops of Glass. You are Faith, a young woman who lost her family in the protests of FY34. You were adopted by Noah, an infamous Runner, and you've run from your past ever since, but it's time to take a stand. Unfortunately, you've been sent to Juvie, but nothing a wall run and a demi tour won't fix. On your, mark, get set...

Have fun!
