Decay Engine

You sit before a military-grade encrypted terminal. The state hovers on the brink of collapse, caught in a web of external hostile forces and internal turmoil. Holding supreme decision-making authority for 12 cycles, you must navigate the fog of information and factional schemes to hold out until the end—for the regime, or for your own convictions.

Core Gameplay & Features

• Five-Dimensional Resource Matrix High-pressure management of Treasury, Authority, Fracture, Mandate, and Shadow. The depletion or loss of control over any single core resource will trigger the immediate collapse of the regime.
• Factional Power Struggles & Parliamentary Battles Strike a perilous balance between the Hawks, Civilians, and the Apparat. Decrees require parliamentary approval—when legitimate avenues fail, will you dare employ high-risk, off-the-books whips to buy off the floor?
• Black Swans & Epistemic Fog Sudden oil price crashes and financial sanctions can shatter your long-term plans at any moment. Meanwhile, Epistemic Fog constantly distorts incoming data, concealing true stat values. Will you clear the air through a Mandatory Audit, or gamble everything on the unknown?
• Extreme Protocols & Life-or-Death Decisions Faced with irreversible crises, activate the "Martyrdom Protocol" or "Declare a State of Emergency." Will you choose absolute purity and break completely with the elites, or cling to absolute power and fall into autocracy?
• Minimalist Cyber-Documentary Aesthetics A stark, Cold War terminal-style interface stripped of flourish—delivering only cold data, telegraphic logs, and fateful, atmospheric decisions.
