Solo developer James Patton’s cyberpunk management sim Spinnortality launches today 1st on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux.
Here’s the new launch date trailer:
In the game, players found a company, spread fake news, start riots and become immortal. In this cyberpunk management sim, wealth is power and corporations are king. Can players monopolize the globe and build a corporate empire that will stand forever?
Nations have merged into massive, politically stagnant super-states. Some are so-called “democracies”, some are dictatorships, and some are ultra-capitalist dystopias. These societies are in a state of flux; your company will determine their future. As head of a global megacorp, the player’s first priority is turning a profit. Before long, though, they will be manipulating politics, deregulating industries, and launching black ops to destabilise the globe.

“The idea that corporations are pretty much the aristocracy of our time has always fascinated me, especially with recent developments in world politics and capitalism. With Spinnortality I wanted to play with that concept and show how much power they could assemble, the corrupting influence of it, and what might happen once they attain absolute power”, says James Patton, developer of Spinnortaltiy. “I was thrilled to see that the premise excited a lot of other people, and after the successful Kickstarter last year I can’t wait until players can finally dive into the world of Spinnortaltiy”.
