[[https://back.nothingtohide.cc/ Nothing to Hide]] is a 'Anti-Stealth' game by Creator/NickyCase AKA [=NutcaseNightmare=]. The game's premise is simple; you play a teenage girl called Poppy Gardener in a dystopian future United States in which [[BigBrotherIsWatching everyone is constantly watched by the government]]. In this future, devices called the [[{{IProduct}} iEye]] watch people and you must be in sight of the cameras at all times. If you step out of sight even briefly you will be "[[DeadlyEuphemism tranquilized]]", because only criminals would go out of the sight of cameras as only criminals have something to hide. Every moment is also put up onto a Facebook-like knock-off called "The Wall", whether or not you wanted to. However, what happens to Poppy herself depends on the game version.

* FascistButInefficient: The government, due to the number of cameras being nowhere near enough to monitor everything constantly, has to have it's own citizens help them spy on themselves.

Now, unfortunately, takes into account recent events... *sigh* Note I\'m not sure if this is Orphaned Series or Vaporware - feel free to correct me if the other fits better.


In the soon to be released game, the story is flipped around. Here, Poppy is instead the daughter of a poor man who has his and his daughter's life turned into a {{DomCom}} against their will, allowing anyone at any time to tune in and see their horrible life. To earn privacy, one must be incredibly powerful, and the story will focus on Poppy basically having a DownerEnding as she will lose everything.

However, the development of the game has been [[http://us3.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dfc6ed35d0a2933c059395987&id=47e5a7480f unfortunately]] stopped. (Though the creator states they do intend to make the game, it won't be anything like what was planned.)

In the demo, Poppy Gardener is the daughter of the president, who is in complete control of the US and the upcoming unsecret ballot (which, like everything, is revealed to everyone) will win him another term. His daughter, [[AbusiveParents who you could say suffers the most]], decides to run away in order to escape, despite needing to be watched by the iEyes at all times. She eventually comes across Nobody, a young boy and rebel who found a way to remove himself from the The Wall, and with an app he created, Poppy too becomes "nobody".

In the soon to be released game, the story is flipped around. Here, Poppy is instead the daughter of a poor man who has his and his daughter's life turned into a {{DomCom}} against their will, allowing anyone at any time to tune in and see their horrible life.
