A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

A corrupt system. Disgruntled citizens.

And now the president has been assassinated.

Four self proclaimed candidates offer to step up to the position, each with their own version of the perfect city. 

But to obtain this position they need one thing that gives them an overwhelming leg up over the others.

This is a prologue that takes place well before the assassination. This is mostly an introduction to the four antagonists.

You play as a normal citizen just going about your usual day. But unfortunately you get caught up in one of the villains' nefarious schemes. Will you be able to get through the day?

Meet the villains:

The Mad Scientist

Quiet and slight of build, he appears to be as gentle as one can get. But his appearance belies a scientist determined to push the boundaries of the possible, no matter the cost. To him, the world is his test subject, and you end up caught in one of his experiments, when all you wanted was to go to a mall...

The Anarchist


A friendly and outgoing worker, he's quite the charmer when you meet at the bar. But what you do not know is that he's working on emancipating the people from an abusive police and uncaring government. To him, there is no greater freedom than individual freedom. Which sounds great and all, till you see just how he chooses to exercise said freedom while meeting up with a client...

The Military Authoritarian

Tall and domineering, he's a man of utmost discipline. To him, nothing speaks of a bad character more than a lack of self control. And sometimes, it takes a perfectionistic mindset to make a perfect country. As a soldier stationed at an outpost, his strict rules sound like a pain when he is stationed where you're at. But it's nothing compared to what he really has in store for you and your troop members...

The Capitalist

Charismatic and professional, he's the picture of a successful businessman, and you feel proud to work as his secretary.  He seems to have his own ideas about how the government should function. After all, running a country is just like running a business. You roll your eyes at hearing this, he's just like a typical CEO. But a sneak-peek inside his desk reveals that he is more than just that...
