The Occupation Review

7 Total Score
Good

The Occupation is a fixed-time, investigative thriller set in North West England on Saturday 24th October, 1987. You are tasked with investigating and questioning people on their actions from a tumultuous night which resulted in the loss of many lives. Each person has a different account of the night's event and you must use the tools at your disposal to get the results you need for your investigation. Every minute in the game is a real-world minute and The Occupation is played over a fixed time length so make sure your actions count. Your watch can be used to set alarms and timers to help keep track of important objectives such as time delayed safes so you don’t have to hang around whilst security is searching for you somewhere you shouldn't be. For those that like the idea of trespassing, breaking into secure locations and hacking 4 digit codes, there are plenty of rule breaking opportunities to take advantage of in the world of The Occupation.
