MIT innovation context
A technology campus behind the espionage fiction
MIT moved from Boston to its Cambridge campus in 1916. The university and nearby Kendall Square later became closely associated with scientific research, technology companies and entrepreneurship. This quest turns that real innovation landscape into a fictional intelligence mission. The campus and research culture provide the setting; the agency, conspiracy and operation are invented for the game. Playable languages: English.
