"Welcome to Your New Job"

VERDICT Main Visual

The Hook

Congratulations on your new position as a Reincarnation Dispatcher in the celestial bureaucracy. Your job is simple: read files, assign souls to parallel worlds, file paperwork. What could go wrong?

The Twist

Everything.

When a shadow organization called "Eclipse" begins infiltrating the reincarnation system, your mundane desk job becomes a high-stakes moral battleground. Eclipse believes every soul deserves free choice—even if it means destabilizing entire worlds. The celestial bureaucracy demands order through perfect assignment. You're caught between two philosophies, and every choice has cosmic consequences.

The Stakes

Over 14 days in the full game, you'll process over 150 souls—each with their own tragic backstory, hidden motives, and preferred destination. Send them to the right world, and you're a hero. Make the wrong call, and entire civilizations crumble.

Accept bribes. Identify Eclipse operatives. Balance souls' desires against world stability. Write official documents. Imprison the unworthy. Betray your principles. Or don't. The choice is yours.

But remember: in the afterlife, everyone's watching.

In-game Manual Screen

DISPATCHER'S MANUAL: THE BARE MINIMUM

(Apparently, you need one)

Article 1:

Look, your job isn't rocket science. Just point the souls to one of the five worlds. Try not to screw it up.

Article 2:

You've got files. Read them. Send the right soul to the right world. Or don't. Just know a bad match means more 'Karma' for that world. And more paperwork for me.

Article 3:

Keep the Karma within a safe level. If a world goes kaboom, you're not just out of a job. You'll be 'severely punished.' And trust me, they're not kidding about that part.

What You're Really Dealing With

Dead Souls

Process deceased individuals seeking reincarnation across five parallel worlds.

Five Worlds

Fantasy, Modern, Romance, Academy, Apocalypse—each with unique dangers.

Moral Dilemmas

No right answers. Only consequences.

Corruption System

Bribes fill your wallet—and your surveillance file.

Eclipse

A shadow organization fighting for souls' free will. Their philosophy has merit—but their methods could destroy everything. Will you stop them, join them, or find another path?

Relationships

Your colleague Haerang, supervisor Muyoung, and the enigmatic janitor—each with their own agendas. Trust, betray, or keep your distance. Your bonds shape your fate.

What Makes VERDICT Different?

Dossier Reading

Read Between the Lines

Every soul comes with a dossier: name, death cause, personality, skills, life story. But infiltrators hide in plain sight. Can you spot the contradictions before it's too late?

Five Parallel Worlds

Five Parallel Worlds

  • Fantasy World - Heroes, magic, and ancient evils
  • Modern World - Technology, politics, and corporate intrigue
  • Romance World - High society, drama, and forbidden love
  • Academy World - Magic schools, rivalries, and dark secrets
  • Apocalypse World - Survival, scarcity, and desperate choices

Each world has its own karma meter. Let it fill, and civilization ends.

Karma Management System

Karma Management

Bad assignments increase world karma. Disasters accelerate it. Send the right specialist to solve crises—or watch worlds burn.

Bribery Dilemma

The Bribery Dilemma

"Send me to the Fantasy World and this envelope is yours..."

Bribes boost your salary but raise your corruption score. The celestial auditors are watching. How much can you get away with?

Meet the Cast

The Dispatcher

You - The Dispatcher

A newly hired celestial bureaucrat with one job: don't screw up. Your choices define not just your fate, but the fate of five worlds.

Haerang

Haerang - The Colleague

A fellow dispatcher who visits your office daily. She's friendly, perceptive, and seems to know more than she lets on. But her true motives remain unclear.

Trust her, keep your distance, or discover what she's really after. She may become your ally, your enemy, or something in between. Your choices determine her fate—and yours.

Muyoung

Muyoung - The Supervisor

Your evening supervisor. Calm, professional, and deeply concerned about your corruption score. He knows more than he lets on.

The Souls

The Souls

From tragic heroes to scheming infiltrators, every soul has a story. Some want redemption. Some want revenge. Some want to watch worlds burn.

Eclipse

Eclipse

A shadow organization that believes every soul deserves to choose their own destiny. They oppose the celestial system's "assignment by compatibility" philosophy. Their operatives hide among normal souls. Their arguments are compelling. Their methods are dangerous.

Are they freedom fighters or chaos agents? The answer depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.
