DEPERSON follows Aaron, a man who wakes up in Indrija, a nation consumed by surveillance and fear, with no memory of who he is. As he searches for answers, reality begins to twist, forcing Aaron to confront things he may wish he could forget.
Players must observe their surroundings, use each character's unique abilities, and manipulate the environment to overcome puzzles and dangers ahead. Their choices shape Aaron and the people around him, with the potential to make him stronger, crueler, or even more broken.
