A game about the Snowden leaks played by email

In plain words

Top Secret is an email-based game centered on the Snowden leaks. Players engage with the narrative and mechanics through email correspondence rather than traditional game interfaces. The game was launched in 2015 and targets players interested in interactive fiction and political themes. The project uses asynchronous email gameplay to deliver a unique approach to storytelling about surveillance and whistleblowing, making it accessible to players who prefer non-traditional gaming formats.
