The game or me? by MM 09/29/2022, 6:57am PDT
I'm waiting for the weekend to really sink my teeth into the game, but my brief impression is while there's a monstrous amount of stats running in the simulation, the actual actions required of the player are pretty simple.

The world is divided up into "control points" that give your shadow govt. the resources needed to launch shit into space. Assign a single task to one of your 4-8 agents at a certain time each month in service of capturing as many control points as possible. Buy special interest groups and equip them to your agents like RPG equipment to boost their stats and unlock new missions they can be assigned. Note the special events the simulation spits out while they're in-mission.

Reminds me A LOT of The Last Federation, actually.

The Tutorial is dogshit, no argument (see also: Old World). The devs suggest on the steam news to start by reading this.
