A tense tactical survival game where you carefully navigate a police state, balancing influence and stealth to lead a revolution.

What players say

Players praise the unique concept, music, and atmosphere, but many find the lack of tutorials and explanations frustrating. The game is built around time-sensitive fetch quests and a revolution sim, with mixed feelings on the janky controls and unclear mechanics. Some players split on whether the hostile design is intentional or a flaw, and bugs persist.
