What Link 3 is about
Natalia Villalobos has just landed in a new country to take on a new role at a foundation: Head of Culture and Inclusion. Her first challenge is to grow her network of contacts and, something people often forget, keep it active.
To pull it off, she has a rather special advisor: artificial intelligence. With its help she seizes opportunities to meet new people, prepares for those first encounters where so much is decided and looks after the relationships she already has. All with a bigger purpose: developing a strategy that gives the foundation more visibility.
You make the decisions in the game's simulators and get feedback with your areas for improvement.
