Watch the World.


Welcome to Need to Know, the surveillance thriller sim that tests your ability and integrity within the shadowy, cutthroat world of a modern intelligence agency - the Department of Liberty. You must spy on people’s deepest secrets, pick apart their private lives, and determine how dangerous they are. You can also resist these suffocating privacy invasions by aiding underground groups in leaking data to the media. Or, you can just use all of that juicy classified information for your own personal gain. Your call.

Need to Know emphasises story, and will sculpt the crushing growth of our real-world surveillance society into a meaningful, gripping journey. It critiques the system by passing the uncomfortable (or too comfortable?) mantle of power onto your shoulders, and testing which choices you’ll make. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll sweat bullets under the searing blaze of an interrogation lamp.

Features


Assignments - To move through the game - and upwards in the Department - you must complete assignments, which require detecting or solving crimes. In each assignment, you spy on people, determine their guilt, and decide how best to deal with them. Missions are investigative puzzles, founded upon story, character and moral choices.

Evidence - Each profile will contain a person’s digital footprints, from private emails to even more private text messages. Early Clearance Levels only allow you to access a target’s metadata or browsing history. As you progress, you bore deeper into their lives, with geo-tracking, shopping purchases, and even psychological analysis.

Profiles - The Department doesn’t discriminate in its abuse of privacy, so you’ll encounter people from all economic backgrounds, locations, ages, and cultures. The DoL database, CodeX, is packed with citizens’ profiles, with colourful biographies, human flaws, and realistic dilemmas.

Powers - Profile investigations will almost inevitably result in dual-choice decisions. Is the person suspicious or a model citizen? Guilty or innocent? As your Clearance Level increases, so does your authority and the breadth of your powers. Will you fuel your rise to power with searches, wiretaps, smear campaigns and abductions? Exonerate people you want to help? Or covertly undermine the Department from the inside?

Outcomes – Your actions lead to in-game consequences, and at the end of every mission you’ll discover how your decisions affected each suspect.

Clearance Levels – Everything hinges upon your Clearance Level. Impress your superiors, and they will promote you to a higher level, unlocking cooler (and creepier) powers, classified information, a higher salary and prestige.

Personal life – Using a software backdoor, you can also access the CodeX database at home. Steal a corporation’s financial data to make a stock market killing, impress matches in online dating, or help underground groups subvert the Department of Liberty. Be as altruistic or as selfish as you want.

Chapter-based storytelling – Gameplay intertwines with plots and subplots that extend throughout the game. Experience the dystopian surveillance of an Orwell novel, but with the moral complexity of the modern world.

Main plot - Above all else, your primary goal at the Department of Liberty is to find the mysterious figures responsible for the initial terrorist attack. Clues for this central case are buried throughout the story, and are mapped out in your Gray Day chart.

Assets & Prestige – As your salary grows, impress and intimidate peers with new homes, cars, and more.

Design – A more clinical, traditional surveillance design is eschewed for colour and imagery. You should feel the fun and temptation associated with absolute power.



A catastrophic terrorist infiltration of nuclear power plants leads to the formation of a new and immense intelligence agency – the Department of Liberty. Its primary goals are to hunt down those responsible, and prevent further attacks. It will carry these out with unprecedented access to people’s daily lives.

In Washington, the DoL grapples with rival agencies for political supremacy, combats domestic threats, and ruthlessly silences its opponents.



Join the DoL as a broke, directionless graduate. Every day you spy on people, collect their data, and determine their threat level. You have no intention of being sucked into the vortex of surveillance culture, but the deeper you go, the harder it is to escape…

This one makes you actually think!

Thank you for this incredible game, Monomyth! Your game makes me believe that there is still hope for modern-day GameDev. I am currently at Clearance 5. 'Been playing the whole day. Having super fun. Please read through the end, since in this game you often need to do that, too :) Sure, game does have glitches, but I am on 1.21.4 currently and haven't met any game-breaking stuff. At most, sometimes dating app gets stuck and that is fixed by reloading a save. FYI saves are located @ Your-User\AppData\LocalLow\Monomyth Games\Need to Know\ - helps to do a manual checkpoint now and then :) This game does not hold your hand. It does not forgive if you dont pay attention to the details. But for me personally it is pure fun to dig through all that stuff, to figure out proper combination of evidence, proper ways to either save lives or dig up dirt. If you like to read a lot, if you like patterns, problem-solving, and do not need modern-style extensive tutorial and hand-holding of UI tips to play a game - well you are in for a treat. But if you come from Fortnite or similar modern brainless experience - please, move along.

Since release has had 16 patches

So this game has had 16 patches so far since release. Is it in development? No! Is it a beta game? No! SO how the flying f*ck can you charge this much for a buggy ass game? Besides that it has horrendous tutorials, sick trial and error due to shitty explanations what you should look for or not. Papers please is a 5, this shitty wanna-be is a 1! I feel sorry for all the poor bastards that kickstarted this piece of garbage by a team of scammers pretending to be game developers.

Not like.

Starts off interesting at first, but then gets very arbitrary. You can make your own character face, although the options are limited and if you play a Black guy you look white in game and your family area white. Guess I`m adopted, then changed skin colour. Anyway, you work for a very covert secret Agency of the Government. You have to click and pick on suspects that you, no THEY, consider are suspect. One thing I found interesting was when I was in an interview where you could say `Nothing wrong`. I chose an option that I suspected they wouldn`t like. To my surprise I was just dropped out the game. Seriously? There was something creepy about the way it did that, like it was saying, "You chose the bad option therefore YOU are bad! End game!" It felt very Authoritarian. That was the first bad taste. After that the game got seriously sad and boring and I quit.

Yeah..... NO

This souned great. I was waiting for it and got it as soon as possible. I'm so sorry I did. There is very few comston opitons: you can be light or dark skin male/female, hair is the same and it's a set list of names to pick from (picky I know but still). There was next to no info on what to do and I stumbled around till I clicked the right part. The biggest thing that pushed me over was just after the intro. You are at a job interveiw and told to pick from the 5 people who is 'safe' and who is 'unsafe'. Your told there are no right or wrong answers, thats a load of bull dropping. I picked one wrong and was told "sorry you failed to get the job" and it was game over. Went back picked the "right" answers, got the job and then quit soon after.
