The game deals with Mind control, you will be part of one of two groups - either 'the enlightened' or 'the position', and you'll have to fight or achieve the "power." The game will be installed in your smartphones and you will tour various places to collect energy, or how it is named in the game - Exotic Matter - XM, with it you can create, improve or steal portals located in well known public places .
