Gen Mishima

A chilly, slow-revealing institutional mystery where gifted children feel like specimens and every adult seems to be hiding a motive.

Overview: “The Future Institute" led by Dr. Mishima is a school for gifted children, in which they seek to create the minds of the XXII century through genetic experimentation. Mishima’s students are at risk because a rival laboratory of genetic research needs their genomes for the development of new drugs and creating new children.
