How it feels

A tense turn-based strategy where you juggle rebuilding, rebellion, and bureaucracy under constant resource pressure.

What players say

Players describe an in-depth economic management sim with almost no exploration or combat, more like a bureaucrat puzzle. Many note a steep learning curve and a repetitive mid-game. A few report game-breaking bugs with saves and crashes, though some say those are fixed. The text is called too small to read on some screens.
