It was a bold experiment in interactive storytelling, putting the fate of characters in the hands of a group. Hidden Agenda used a companion app to let multiple players vote on choices, creating emergent narratives and betrayals that were often more compelling than the core story. The blend of a pulpy thriller with a social game made it a memorable experience, one that proved a group of friends, a smartphone, and a shared controller could be just as engaging as a traditional single-player adventure.
