Civil Purgatory

Civil Purgatory is an AI-driven game in which you work as a state officer evaluating detained civilians under a totalitarian regime. Each day brings a case file with photographs, documents, intelligence reports and confiscated belongings, which can range from personal effects to weapons and valuables. The game runs advanced AI on your PC rather than through cloud servers, so it requires significant GPU power; its 2D pixel art keeps graphics demands low to leave resources for the AI.

Investigate each case

Interrogations use AI-generated dialogue, producing unscripted conversations in which civilians respond according to your tone, pressure and strategy. You can order a patrol unit to search a suspect’s home, then examine the findings for hidden items, incriminating objects and personal clues. You must connect evidence, identify inconsistencies and support your judgment.

Manage your shift

A digital clock tracks your working hours, and your day ends when the alarm sounds, whether or not you have finished. You decide how to divide your time between interrogations, investigations and reports, and some tasks may remain incomplete. Between shifts, you can have items appraised and sell some weapons, valuables or personal effects to cover daily expenses.

Decisions and progression

At the end of each case, you write a formal justification for deciding whether the civilian is guilty or innocent. An AI system reviews your reasoning and clarity, and the strength of your conclusions affects promotions, salary and progression. Your actions are also continually evaluated, and the decisions carry ethical weight.

Endless cases

There is no ending. You can continue indefinitely through randomized civilians and increasingly complex scenarios, with persistent evaluation of your actions.
