The game "Imperial Bureaucracy Hero" is a dystopian Disco-inspired adult VN setting you in the shoes of a mid-level official taking turns exploiting, torching, or succumbing to the bureaucratic madness of a dying sci-fi regime.

There are no cults or apocalyptic end-times - only the gears of the world turning and crushing men in their wake. The impossible task of fixing this faltering machine is yours - but who's looking if you bang a few women in between the dotted lines?

This is not the story of a superhuman warrior or righteous fanatic; you're a servant of the paperwork and red tape it takes to run an empire of a million worlds. It's your job to cut through that horrifying mess - resolve disputes, fix problems, listen to angry people. It's not your job to have sex - but that can happen as you meet people from every walk of life in the vast Imperium d'Espoir et de Deuil. Lonely guards on empty fortress walls, bored scribes underneath the halls of power, and everywhere in between.

Don't grind! There is not a single moment of grinding. You're a reasonably high-ranking official of the organization that runs everything - you don't need money. Your word is better than money. There's a reason some folks try and bribe you with sex and not fat stacks of cash.

Choose your traits! Are you a schizophrenic empath? A paranoid bureaucratic genius? A nihilistic manipulator? Try and do your job. Endure your horrible empire. Serve the God Emperor. Meet interesting characters. Bang some of them.

Or just do your job and play literal Bureaucracy Simulator. You can do that. The sex is optional. Service to the empire is not.

Gameplay

In the far and dark of a mourning millennium...

Craft your perfect bureaucrat by choosing your MIND FACETS. Become a paperwork god, a bleeding heart, a self-serving striver, a paranoid wreck, or a dangerously insane man - or some combination of the above.

Run around and talk to people. There's no money, no affection meter, no grind - just dialogue and meaningful options that greatly change your story and the stories of those around you.

Resolve disputes: talk to folks, learn about the problem, accept or reject 'bribes', then make your decision. That's what your job's supposed to be.

Meet random people. Learn their story. Commiserate about the misery of living in the Imperium of Hope and Mourning. Bang them?

Help people. Hurt people. Hurt people by trying to help them, help them through trying to hurt others. Get sucked in to side-stories that far exceed the responsibility of your job. Rub shoulders with scheming nobles and dodge bullets fired by desperate men. Live your life, touch the lives of others, and soak in the world around you; it'll be quite a ride.
