Republique is a game with very strong politics as it's central theme. The name should make is fairly obvious that this is the case, but regardless, the main story revolves around 390-H, or Hope as she calls herself. The story starts where she is being harassed by guards for having a "poisoned manifesto" and then take her away to a holding cell for "Recalibration" and since this doesn't sound good we, in the mobile, use our abilities to hack into security cameras and free head, leading her on a adventure to escape this dystophian hell-hole. For actual gameplay, please look at my video stream of this game:

You can scan all kinds of items to learn information about this place and it's inhabitants. You can get hope to pick-pocket Prizrak to get a floppy disk with a image of a indie game and review from the guy, Cooper, who is helping you out. He talks about all the fun different indie games, giving you mini-reviews inside this game of games you should certainly check out! Then there's the banned books you collect which give you a real idea of the kind of world that this "Headmaster" wants to build, becoming more and more radical as it becomes more obvious that his idea of a "Utopia" is where he rules over all information from the entire world and should be trusted with it. No opinions that he might be dangerous or if he dies someone evil might take over. Just that his way is right and everyone else's way is deeply flawed!

It has a interesting twist right near the end and a fairly sad ending too! Well worth checking out, along with the books that the headmaster hates too.
