We. The Revolution

We. The Revolution is set during the French Revolution, where paranoia makes it difficult to tell friend from enemy. As a judge on the Revolutionary Tribunal, you decide who lives and who dies, while navigating political rivalries and trying to avoid being guillotined as an enemy of the revolution. Your judgments can shape the revolution’s fate, but they are morally ambiguous and may divide your family.

The tribunal

You preside over dozens of court cases, questioning witnesses, examining clues and evidence, reading reports and passing sentences. You also assign tasks to your agents and give speeches, making decisions with no obvious solutions.

Political intrigue

Rival factions compete for power. You can make them friends and associates or enemies, and pursue political intrigue behind the scenes. The game combines building cases, crafting intrigue and turn-based tactics.

Family and consequences

At the end of each day, you face your family and discuss your decisions. Your loved ones may see your judgments differently, bringing the consequences of your choices into your personal life.

Art and setting

The game uses a visual style that combines simple polygons with neoclassical art from the revolutionary era. Its symbolic story is loosely based on historical events of the French Revolution, with an oppressive atmosphere informed by the classic novels of Alexandre Dumas and Joseph Conrad.
