Story
In the alternate reality we are creating, the American coffee market has been lied to. Customers flock by the thousands everyday to buy lattes and cappuccinos not knowing that the beans they are drinking were obtained through war and violence. Brutal coffee wars rage across the planet in coffee growing regions where shortages in these coveted berries are forcing corporations to take the crops by force. Coffee slaves work around the clock in horrible conditions. Entire ecosystems are destroyed by over harvesting and automated processes. Americans are clueless of this. The coffee lobbyist have instigated a holistic media lockdown on the ‘Coffee Wars,’ but their secret can’t stay a secret forever.

In Atlanta, three investigative journalists are devising a plot to end the coffee giants evil practices. They, without knowledge of each other, have started guerrilla campaigns to spread the word about the Coffee Wars including flyers and posters as well as blogs and twitter accounts. Our players will come in contact with this media and interact with our characters. Throughout the game, the players will amass a collection of data that incriminates the coffee corporations. When all the data has been compiled they will upload the evidence to a broadcast website that spreads the word of the Coffee Wars across major websites and news feeds. This ruins the corrupt coffee corporations and convinces the three journalists to start a new coffee house where workers are treated well and the planet is maintained: GRIND HOUSE.
