About the Game

An ironic mix of psychology, economy, philosophy and politics that reveals the contradictions of a statist society and conveys the voluntaryst ethos

You find yourself in a unknown world. You have to survive and understand its people and its rules.
Explore the world to harvest resources and build your house. You want to climb the social ladder by starting a business and investing but you will quickly realize that someone is trying to make your life unreasonably difficult.
If you manage to overcome those adversities you'll find yourself to be rich and powerful. Those that initially looked like your enemies (politicians and policemen), suddenly appear to be your friends. It's up to you to decide how to deal with them.
Seemingly basic interactions present philosophical and political dilemmas that allow you to experiment with different moral standards and to observe the consequences of your actions that will eventually influence the game ending.

Gameplay is about 3 hours but it may vary depending on player's choices.
