Players control sinister agents spreading urban legends across regional maps. Each turn demands strategically placing conspiracy theories in specific cities, dispatching two agents to harvest unique resources like Blood, Politics, and Fear, manipulating events to maximize psychological manipulation, and tracking complex interconnected objectives.

❤ Strategic Depth

The experience challenges players through constant resource scarcity forcing tough choices, a two-agent limit that creates intense tactical trade-offs, evolving mechanics that introduce new challenge layers in each campaign mission, and an intricate system rewarding careful planning and opportunistic thinking.

❤ Resource Management

Success hinges on masterfully generating 'Oleum' (fear currency) to enable agent mobility, extracting precise resources to upgrade conspiracy narratives, countering rival organizations' counter-narratives, and balancing aggressive expansion with defensive positioning.

❤ Campaign Structure

Players navigate three interconnected storylines exploring different villainous protagonists, with 4-5 progressively challenging missions per narrative arc and unique regional objectives demanding adaptive strategies.

❤ Gameplay Innovations

The design captivates through board game-like strategic complexity, mid-run strategic pivoting, narrative progression that rewards player curiosity, and gradually escalating challenge complexity.

❤ Difficulty Dynamics

The experience presents a nuanced learning curve allowing experimental approaches, normal difficulty requiring thoughtful decision-making, and forgiving failure mechanics that encourage strategic exploration.
