The player is invited to work as an assistant with the firm Chalfont, Chalfont & Chalfont, although they are immediately denied the opportunity to provide the player character with a nominated name and appearance, either being given the name Haas or Alice. They are introduced by their colleague Vivienne and given a PDA to complete errands for the firm, and invited to meet the CEO. On the way to the CEO's office, the player encounters a dead body, a matter the CEO dismisses and asks the player to "lighten up" about. Returning to the office, Vivienne provides the player with a revolver, warning the player that there are "invisible people in the hallways", or Bugs, they must defend themselves from.
