A Story Game of Mind-Bending Depravity
This game can be genuinely emotionally disturbing. If you are easily offended, have a sensitive and caring nature, a weak stomach, or severe psychological problems, it is strongly advised that you do not read this game.

You work for an evil organization. You torture people for a living. You passionately love your job. Every night after quitting time, you get together with coworkers to talk over the day's work and relive old glories. It's basically a brag-fest in which each torturer is trying to outshine his or her coworkers by describing the most horrible and nauseating acts of cruelty imaginable.
"There is a terrible beauty in all of this that I find very attractive. It goes like this: 'Look at what I am capable of imagining. Look at the horrors I can conceive of. Look at all of this inspiration for evil inside of me. Now. Watch as I never, ever actually do any of it.' It's a powerful argument for mankind as something more than an animal. Something more than the sum of our desires and urges.
"We have such powerful choices in life. The decision to never harm another human being means a lot in the context of such potential for evil. My torturer-character shows me stripped of my moral center, my compassion. The acts he describes highlight just exactly why I need that center, why compassion must be an active choice. In short, the torturer is the signpost, pointing at something greater and good." —John Harper
"How low can our society sink? Scum." —Anonymous
