Climbing the ladder, one betrayal at a time
You start at the bottom of the Prime Ministry with a desk, a stamp and a career to build. Getting up means playing the game: dig up dirt on colleagues, spy on your boss, file the right documents at the right window, and decide who to help and who to bury. Every floor of the ministry holds new coworkers with their own secrets and their own goals, and each one is a rung or an obstacle. The game never forces you to be cruel. It just makes cruelty the convenient option, and lets you live with whatever shade of grey you pick.
A mystery that goes all the way to the top
Your father was a high-ranking official, and his death was ruled a suicide. You are not convinced. Working your way up floor by floor, you uncover new secrets about the ministry and the state behind it, and the picture keeps getting bigger than one death. The story is the engine here: it is dark, often absurd, and it makes room for black humor in the middle of all the grey. Choices branch toward multiple endings, so who you become, loyal officer, ruthless careerist or whistle-blower, is genuinely up to you. One honest note: getting there involves a lot of running the same corridors and pushing a lot of paperwork, and some find that part repetitive.
