For the People

For the People is a social novel with strategic elements in which you take the role of a state official. You lead Iron-1, a small industrial center, as a new totalitarian regime takes shape after a revolution. The country faces a deepening social crisis and a severe economic deficit, and you must manage and rebuild the city.

Manage Iron-1

You handle citizens’ appeals for justice, decide whether to grant requests from departments and navigate political intrigue. Information is a valuable resource, and you can obtain it by any means necessary. Decisions can put you in situations where the right course is not clear: for example, you might have to judge whether to punish hooligans accused of attacking an old man, or learn that the man is a counter-revolutionary before deciding what to do.

Distribute resources

Each district in Iron-1 needs help, but your budget is limited. You decide how to distribute resources among the people, earning their trust and increasing your influence. You cannot please everyone, so your choices require you to take sides.

Choose your loyalties

Your decisions have consequences, and you must balance the party’s interests, the country’s future and your citizens’ livelihoods. The game has over five possible endings.
