Story

The action of Paranoia is set in the Alpha Complex - the last city of mankind, where the power is held by the so-called Computer. The powerful AI controls all aspects of life, at the same time telling the inhabitants that the complex is a paradise that should not be abandoned. Challenging speeches or orders from the authorities results in death or a long-term sentence in.... Reeducational Gulag and Spa.

In the game we play as the leader of the Level Red Issue Solving Team. Although the complicated name may suggest otherwise, in practice the role of a Problem Solver (i.e. ours) comes down to eliminating the enemies of the Alpha Complex: terrorists, mutants and members of secret communities, convinced that they understand the world better than the ruler and question the unquestionable graciousness and wisdom of the Computer and the truthfulness of the theses he preaches.

Technical aspects
