DISCLAIMER: This is an artistic commentary on Total Rendition by its writer and lead designer and is in no way a formal political declaration of Schizotypy Game Development Limited, which is a commercial enterprise and operated accordingly. I will have to be very frank. I have severely compromised my artistic integrity since I started making Total Rendition. As some of you may know, past versions of Total Rendition included Ukrainian Neo-Nazis as enemy NPCs. Indeed, the Odessa Battalion (a fictional organisation though with some real-life inspirations I will not mention,) were to be prominently featured as mooks supporting the main antagonists of Total Rendition. When it was Special Military Operation time for Ukraine, I removed these from future versions of Total Renditions because in the UK (where I live exiled from the Netherlands after harassment from a woke student association), we are supposed to view Ukraine as the good guysTM. I wanted to say that I feel very bad for the aforementioned act of artistic self-sabotage. As the rages on, Im beginning to realise the idea of a Ukrainian Neo-Fascist blowback against their erstwhile benefactor countries (such as the Netherlands, the US, Britain) is not at all far fetched. Indeed, I have had faced a lot of abuse from the very Ukrainian Steam users I have had tried so hard to appease (which is an appropriate choice of words indeed). Even though I always envisioned one supporting (and one time main) character in the plot as an actual female (a.k.a. a ciswoman), I once suggested players could assume she was trans, even when I personally never believed that. I have had pandered to the woke lobby and they rewarded with a flurry of false stalking accusations. Since December I have become bereft of necessary equipment to work on Total Rendition. Yet, as Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn pointed out, Fascism is a Left-Wing ideology. Now, I have finally learned to trust the plan: That is to say, I have found the hope to complete Total Rendition which I have had always envisioned Total Rendition to be a homage to the immersive sims of the 1990s and 2000s, and at the same time, as a depiction of the contemporary political situation of the Netherlands, which is ruled by paedosexual frat boys such as Joris Demmink and a host of gender ideologues. But the morality of this tale is also that self-censorship is utterly pointless. I will now embark on completing assembly of the team so necessary to complete Total Rendition. I will raise the investment necessary to compensate that team. And I am confident that Total Rendition can be made, uncut. So, Gamergaters, after more than five years, your prayers have finally been heard. Total Rendition is going to become the game you have been waiting for! I will succeed, or at least I will die trying. Mordechai

The Game They Don't Want You To Play!
In this narrative-driven first-person immersive simulation, you start out with your first day at Knoll NV, a large multinational firm operating in the shady world of "litigation support" (or to put it plainly, privatized spooks). Among their clients are the van Hoorn family, a prominent Dutch old money dynasty based in "Holland's Finest Beach" of Noordwijk aan Zee, in turn renowned, or perhaps notorious, for being frequently visited by prominent figures from across the world.Yet, while the van Hoorns themselves are nowhere to be found, you do encounter state-sponsored terrorists masquerading as mere frat boys, dodgy business transactions, pervasive corruption and the rest. Of course, this is only the beginning, leaving you wondering whether you have been set up for a fool's errand. Get ready to set out on an odyssey to discover the truth, as you jump into a parallel world where you encounter the reality behind Europe's urban legends, political scandals and conspiracy theories. In order to survive in a brutal and decadent world, you must use your wits in either covert or violent ways.
Total Rendition is set in contemporary times and tells you a story of a world decades in the making as a result of buffoonery, stupidity and complacency. So, what will you do when that world is about to explode? Total Rendition may be the Game They Don't Want You To Play, yet it is perhaps by playing, that you may find out...
