Imperial Credit, set in 2034, is an interactive fiction game, imagining a future welfare system in the age of surveillance capitalism. The main character, a migrant, tries to navigate the murky waters of precarious, illegal work and the often-baroque bureaucracy of the UK welfare system. Imperial Credit imagines a dystopian future where jobseekers are monitored via electronic bracelets and they have to constantly log their "job-seeking" activity, particularly in high-net worth, increasingly gated neighbourhoods.
