Unit 13 is a clandestine British agency tasked with keeping the country safe from paranormal threats.
Being a British agency, Unit 13 is woefully underfunded and its agents are expected to complete their missions within a strictly defined departmental budget.
In this first instalment, you and your partner are tasked with the case of a university professor who has gone missing during fieldwork in an area of known occult activity.
Finding what’s happened to the professor and combating the supernatural threats might prove to be the easy bit - can you did it without blowing the budget?
Britain is not great at funding its government agencies. So you get organisations like the police and the national health service that just don’t get the funding they need to do the job properly and they have to improvise and cut a lot of corners.
The joke here is that even Unit 13, which should be hugely important since its protecting the country from paranormal threats, the government hasn’t really provided the money.
Top agencies such as MI5 and MI6 are pretty well funded, not as much as their US counterparts but better than the Police Force, I believe Wales is still funded by HM Treasury for the most part.
But as I work for a lesser UK government agency I can totally understand this, being asked to do a job with sub par or incorrect equipment is a common occurrence. Will keep an eye on this one.
