Born into opulence, you’ve mastered the art of transactional generosity—every favor granted is a debt owed. When a sudden family crisis threatens your inheritance, you must leverage your vast network of "allies" to outmaneuver rivals, from sycophantic socialites to cutthroat corporate heirs. But as you trade secrets, blackmail, and hollow promises to secure your legacy, the line between ally and pawn blurs. Will you climb higher by uplifting others, or cement your power by ensuring no one climbs beside you? In this cutthroat saga of wealth and manipulation, even kindness comes with a price tag.
Gameplay
1. Favor Economy: Negotiate asymmetric deals—lend resources to a struggling artist to claim their future masterpiece, or bail out a rival to later exploit their gratitude. Every choice builds (or burns) bridges.
2. Reputation Layers: Manage dual metrics—public "Philanthropy Score" for societal clout vs. behind-closed-doors "Leverage Stock" to strong-arm enemies.
3. Hostage Hospitality: Invite characters to lavish events (galas, yacht trips) to subtly extract secrets, using minigames like mixing poisoned cocktails or rigging auctions.
Features
1. Narrative Capitalism: A story-driven experience where relationships function as currency, with branching plots influenced by who you indebted or bankrupted.
2. Gilded Aesthetics: Opulent, hyper-stylized visuals juxtapose gleaming penthouses with shadowy backroom deals, paired with a soundtrack blending classical motifs and electronic tension.
3. Betrayal Blueprints: Unlock "Loyalty Forensics" tools to predict if allies will honor deals or sell you out, using behavioral tells and hidden relationship webs.
Tips
1. Invest in Liabilities: Deliberately create dependencies—funding a friend’s startup gives long-term control, even if it’s initially unprofitable.
2. Stage Public "Kindness": Use highly visible good deeds to mask private scheming, boosting Philanthropy Score while masking Leverage Stock drains.
3. Let Rivals Underestimate You: Playing the spoiled heir early game lowers guards, making late-game takedowns easier.
