Toggle Group description

The military. "The country is safe, because we have a good secret service” (A. Pinochet)

Soldiers, army members, ordinary police, Carabineros, and agents of the DINA, the feared and dangerous secret police.
They are military, but also politicians, in a mashup common in dictatorships. They can be cold, but also cruel and violent. They are respected by some, and feared by all. Among them there are loyal soldiers, but also ambitious and ruthless individuals that hide their perversions behind orders and an uniform. They are the fist of repression, justified by the need to maintain order and safety, avoiding any opposition that might destabilize or damage the government, protecting Chile from the soviet menace.
Their gameplay will be related to physical and psychological abuse, discovering brutality, and they will be torn between duty, discipline and moral dilemma.
THEMES: human dignity, responsibility, duty, morals.

Teaser:

Naive, but with a good share of optimism and a form of peasantly cunning, private Plaza is hurled into a bigger than him reality. His enthusiasm for the fascist ideal and his admiration for General Pinochet clash with everyday military life, limited to executing orders that often lead him to bend his knees and ask for forgiveness from God. He found himself wearing a uniform that was often stained with blood, and whose stains now tarnish his own heart. But in the end he made it: he's left the streets of Santiago and managed to be assigned to Villa Grimaldi hoping to leave behind the blood and the smell of gunpowder.

Relations:

Carmela Castro   is her fiancee. She’s a good girl, but he worries about her. Moriales   did the Academy with him, but now that they met again in Villa Grimaldi, he realized he’s not like he used to be. Rosario Alma Plaza  , his sibling, is weaker and pliable and might be unfit for this snakes’ hideout. He can’t figure out how to get closer to Palmira Isabel Almuna  , who’s an icy woman.
