History VideoGame / Republique

You play as someone who has somehow gained access to the security system of a mysterious {{dystopia}} called "Metamorphosis". Through your mobile device or computer, you can access camera feeds, unlock doors and hack into computer systems to read emails and stored voicemails. Your snooping sees you come into contact a young woman named 390-H (aka "Hope"), who has been imprisoned for reading banned literature and scheduled for [[FakeMemories "recalibration"]]. Now you must help her evade the roaming security patrols and escape this place, all while digging into the secrets of Metamorphosis and a sinister project called "The Arrival".

** Episode 4: [[spoiler:after finally escaping the Acre and Mammoth, 390 and the phone enter a tunnel, with Treglazov himself at the end. Treglazov tricks 390 to look the other way...then kills her with a handgun. With the "Mirror" undeniably dead, Treglazov picks up the phone and, as though he knows the player is there, shuts it off.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: [[spoiler:It appears that Episode 4 gives us a Hope who is now acting ''very'' oddly (presumably from the HeroicBSOD from the end of Episode 3), and the "giant" groundskeeper, who seems to have alternating personalities of a manservant and his boss.]]

* {{Pixellation}}: The software in all cameras automatically pixellizes pornographic material as well as the Overseer's eyes.

* SoundEffectBleep: All swear words are automatically bleeped out by the security camera software.

* TitleDrop: For some reason, despite otherwise using English, everyone refers to Metamorphosis as a [[GratuitousFrench République]] instead of a Republic. That may indicate that the game is set in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada - at least two of the voice actors are Canadian-Americans, so Canada may have been an influence.

* IronicEpisodeTitle: [[spoiler:Episode 4: God's Acre, which is set in a CreepyCemetery on the surface.]]

* [[spoiler:CreepyCemetary: The main setting of Episode 4.]]

* CloudCuckooLander: [[spoiler:It appears that Episode 4 gives us a Hope who is now acting ''very'' oddly (presumably from the HeroicBSOD from the end of Episode 3), and the "giant", who seems to have alternating personalities of a manservant and his boss.]]
* CollectiveIdentity: The Overseer considers those who hide behind them threats to the state, comparing the Internet's RealLife group [[ImageBoards Anonymous]] to the monster of Mary Shelly's ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'', being [[FrankensteinsMonster a singular beast stitched together from parts of several individuals]]. He intends to do away with them by doing away with privacy entirely.

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Cooper is your guide Episodes 1, 2, and parts of 3, although the "voice" in this case is from a text-to-speech processor, as Cooper is TheVoiceless. In the second half of Episode 3, Mattie Sade temporarily takes on this duty.

* ShoutOut: ''VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns'', DoubleFine and KentuckyRouteZero all have posters in Cooper's office. All of them (and Republique) were successfully funded through Kickstarter.

** All of the guards have Atari 2600 cartridges for various games available on iOS, including ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}'' and ''VideoGame/SuperHexagon''. For the Android release, any games that were exclusive to iOS are replaced with games available on the Google Play store.

* {{Fauxreigner}}: Mattie Sade digs up the dirt on Mireille Prideaux, the Overseer's NumberTwo, and discovers that she's actually American. She proceeds to tease "Mireille" with this information, causing the latter to threaten Mattie (dropping her French accent).

-> ''"Good evening, citizens of Metamorphosis. As we make our final preparations, we must be extra vigilant. Recent events have brought us the capture and killing of a man whose sinister, disgusting actions brought no small amount of grief. You know who I am referring to. I will not speak his name again. But even though he has been eliminated, other threats remain. Just tonight, another treasonist was attempting to infect the minds of our youngest and brightest with lies masquerading as divine text. This mimeo apostate will be dealt with in the same manner as the one who inspired him. Keep a watchful eye out for our République, my friends, and in return, She will watch over you.
--> '''The Headmaster'''

-> Please, I need your help! I don't have much time!\\
