Dogday is set in a bleak, oppressive society run by a corrupt totalitarian regime under the rule of the all-powerful Chegga. The few fortunate enough to be part of Chegga's elite enjoy a life of privilege at the expense of the masses.

Efficient and ruthless security forces support the regime constantly patrolling the streets, arresting anyone who commits even the most trivial offence.

Criticising, or even questioning the activities of Chegga or his cronies is an extremely dangerous activity. Dissidents are dealt with in various ways, none of them pleasant. They are often arrested on falsified charges, found guilty at a government-run show trial and imprisoned without hope of release. Other times they meet with fatal accidents soon after gaining the government's attention. More often they simply vanish.

Your objective is to make contact with CATS and provide them with the means to expose the true nature of government activities. You must then flee the city to avoid sharing the fate of so many brave dissidents before you.
