How it feels

A methodical strategy RPG where you manage political or organizational responsibilities with careful planning.

What players say

Players enjoy the Monopoly-like loop of rolling dice, buying properties, and managing officials through word-slot synthesis, but nearly every review flags showstopping bugs, agents vanish forever, saves break the dice, and the first battle can softlock the game. The developer is praised for sincerity and frequent patching, though some worry updates have stalled.
