Corey Konieczka, former vice-president of Research & Design at Fantasy Flight Games who is now spearheading the creative output of publisher Unexpected Games, is bringing one of his passion projects to fruition with the imminent release of The Initiative, a cooperative game for 1 - 4 players revolving around a mysterious game simply known as The Key and the protagonists who find themselves entangled in a web of lies and mystery:

“The Initiative — a unique co-operative board game of story, strategy, and code-breaking — lets players take on the role of teenagers in 1994 who have found a mysterious board game called "The Key". Not only will they play The Key, but players will help the teens through a pivotal chapter of their lives by following a series of missions linked together via an interactive comic book.

The game's campaign is broken into a number of chapters, each taking 30-60 minutes to complete and each starting with you reading a page of the comic book. The story advances even if players fail a mission, but winning may provide a reward in the future. Each chapter builds on the knowledge and story from previous chapters, weaving narrative, code-breaking, and mystery into one thrilling game experience.” - description by the publisher
