One citizen. One d20. Six hundred forty acres of "confidential."
How to Play
Explore Fallow Creek
Use the arrows (or keyboard arrows / WASD) to walk. Bump into people and things, or press TALK, to look and talk. Collect evidence. Make friends.
Dodge the drones
Survey Hornets sweep the fields with spotlights. Standing corn hides you. Hold an arrow to move, tap DASH for a burst. Getting spotted costs Resolve and sends you back to the last checkpoint.
Win debates with a d20
Every action rolls a d20 plus your stat against a target number. You see your opponent's next move ahead of time, so Rebut it, or answer it with the right evidence. Win by draining their Composure or winning over the Room.
Guard your Credibility
Verified facts raise it. Unverified rumors are tempting and sometimes work, but when they backfire they hurt you all game. Credibility adds to (or takes from) every roll.
Friends, groups and voters
Recruit seven friends and organize four local groups; each one helps in debates and on Election Night. Win over undecided neighbors by listening first. Facts beat lectures, and lecturing loses people.
Watch the calendar
You have 84 days until Election Day. Records requests, petition shifts and lookups all cost days. Days you save before the final week turn into extra turnout.
Election Night
The ballot asks whether the rezoning should be approved, so your side votes NO. Win a majority for the Win ending. A narrow loss with leverage gets a Compromise. Otherwise, construction starts.
The goal
Expose who is really behind "Project Haystack" and get the rezoning in front of the voters before Election Day.
