Story Summary:
Neo-Noir adaptation of Macbeth.
In an Iranian city, Lili, the lonely wife of a militia commander, plots a murder to secure her husband’s rise within a corrupt regime. But when the killing unhinges the order of things, she is drawn into a network of deep web hackers—modern-day witches—who weaponize hidden truth. This stylized neo noir game adaptation of Macbeth unfolds through smartphones, computer screens, and deep-state surveillance, immersing players as hackers in the oppressive surveillance state.
The partnership between iNK Stories and the Royal Shakespeare Company is a landmark
collaboration, bringing together two creative forces to unlock the profound potential of
adapting Shakespeare’s timeless masterpieces for contemporary audiences. It pushes the
boundaries of storytelling, marking an inflection point in the depth of expression within
commercial video games and expanding the creative vision of the RSC into new, interactive
territory. A video game based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a thrilling endeavour that
transforms one of literature’s darkest and most compelling tales — of gender, ambition, fate,
power, and morality — into an immersive, interactive experience.
