1C Entertainment, in partnership with GameTrek, shines a spotlight on their upcoming grand strategy game: Secret Government. Arriving on Steam Early Access this October, get ready to step into the shadows and manage your very own secret society. Complete with all the geopolitical perks you’d expect from manipulating the world’s superpowers, your will shapes world growth.
Secret Government tasks you with leading a secret society as you spread your influence across the globe. Rewrite key historical events taking place from the 18th century to the present day. Decide the outcome of major events like the War of Independence and the French and Napoleonic Wars. Manage your resources as you manipulate the actions of the world’s leaders. Strategically plant your agents in vulnerable regions to influence policy and public opinion. Infiltrate powerful institutions of authority. Anyone can be your pawn as you exploit their resources and seize control over key decision-makers.
You’re not the only secret society lurking in the shadows, though. Be wary, as a rival secret society exists… and they aren’t afraid to manipulate their way into the history books. Make every action and choice count as you outthink the competition and maintain your hard-earned secrecy and level of infiltration in the shadows.
