03:40 AM. Radio and television have gone silent.
The General Staff has overthrown the government and put you at the head of the junta. You now hold the highest office in a fictional country — and so do the people who put you there. They're still around you. All of them armed. All of them waiting.
Martial Rule is a pixel-art political simulation where you play as a general trying to hold onto power in a country generated fresh every session. From economic crises to assassination plots, border tensions to popular uprisings, dozens of scenarios branch out based on the choices you make. There's no single right path — only choices, and the consequences that follow.
Four core stats keep you standing: People, Army, Treasury, Reputation. The moment any one of them hits zero or one hundred, the game ends — and it's your decisions that write how history remembers you.
Key Features
🎖 A New Country Every Playthrough — Country name, president name, neighboring states, flags, and the map are all randomly generated each new game. No two playthroughs are ever the same.
🌍 Five Neighboring Countries, Real Diplomacy — Export goods, sign treaties, negotiate visa-free travel, or declare war outright. Every neighbor has its own army, economy, and attitude toward you.
🏛 A Cabinet With Its Own Agendas — Your ministers have loyalty — and hidden agendas. Some may betray you. Investigate them, keep a close eye — or take the risk and look away.
🎯 A National Focus Tree — Run long-term strategic projects across Economy, Military, and Diplomacy. Each one advances day by day and leaves a permanent advantage once complete.
💻 Cyber Security Bureau — Build your own intelligence agency and run digital operations from a terminal screen.
📰 A Newspaper Every Day — Your decisions come back to you the next morning as your own headline. Read your full history in the Chronicle.

Why Martial Rule?
This isn't a game about winning — it's a game about balance. Crack down on the people and the army grows stronger, but your reputation collapses. Push reforms and the people love you, but your own staff starts seeing you as a threat. Every choice has a cost, and sometimes the path that looks safest is the one that gets you overthrown fastest.
How many days can you last? And more importantly — how will history remember you?
