The idea of using prison inmates as human Guinea pigs to test the effects of experimental drugs on humans is ancient. Though the idea itself isn’t new, a group of scientists working for a paramilitary organization have been tasked with recruiting 16 individuals to relocate them to an enclosed environment to be the first to test a very experimental drug in an environment suited for the trials.

Project: Origin is an OC/PB game set in the year 2015. It takes place in an enclosed dome with a limited number of spots available.

It is a plot-driven game with darker moments, open to all character types -- as long as they have a situation of their own making they need to escape.
