There's not much meat on the bones here, what you see in the screenshots is what you get. There's no tutorial, no guidance, it just throws you in and you are left to figure it out. I would have liked if the devs added more metrics so you could better tell what your choices are doing. But you get 3 and the only way of knowing if you are making the wrong decisions is to make them. If you like trial and error or games where you can map out a perfect run this is for you, otherwise I'd either get it on sale or pass on it. You can tell that it want's to be like democracy but it falls short.
you are in possession of an AI system determined to balance the world. There are multiple switches with different attributes and each cycle represents 10 years. You have to split your budget to balance both trust and economic growth. The AI gives helpful tips of which parameters to increase. But beware! If you're disobedient or abuse your authority in any way that dangers economy to collapse the AI will take over to balance your mistake. If you rely on the AI too often, it will eventually reach full autonomy and lock you out of interacting (i aint complaining, less work for me and more time for other stuff). in short, it's a fun little game. I'm not a tactical kind of person, so I didn't unleash the games full potential but I still had my fun with it. The game is relatively easy to understand although there isnt really a tutorial. So yeah, it's pretty cool.
