About Despotism 3k
Despotism 3k is a resource management sim with rogue-lite elements, a dramatic plot and pop culture references. Humanity is enslaved by an AI, and you exploit humans to generate power and build an empire.
Manage your humans
You keep track of your workers to prevent exhaustion and hunger. The weakest can be sent to the Bioreactor. You must make quick decisions about resources and manage your people without pity.
Random events and resets
Randomly generated events make every run different. Failure is fatal, and you have to start over. The mechanics take a couple of minutes to learn, but using them optimally is more challenging.
Dark humor
The game uses dark humor and jokes throughout its story of tyranny and human enslavement.
