Reactor 09

A Point and Click Adventure Game, Reactor 09 tells the story of Clyde Galivan, a former scientist who finds himself arrested and thrown into jail for life. With his strictly by the book CO Matthew keeping a close watch on him, he's stuck mopping floors and needing permission just to access the supply room... until a mysterious earthquake rocks the entire complex.

A major part of gameplay is that Galivan must earn Matthew's trust. Even in a crisis, Matthew insists on following rules and regulations, and isn't too keen on letting Galivan carry around potentially harmful items like pipes or scissors.
