Description

Puppet Master: The Shadow Government Simulator is a puzzle/strategy game where you are the Illuminati. In this game you infiltrate the world's nations and bribe/seduce/intimidate your way to power. Inspired by old classics like Plague Inc. and modern gems like The Shrouded Isle, Puppet Master challenges the player to enter societies, discover the networks of power and reshape them to fit your agenda.

History

Chupacabra Game studios began developing Puppet Master in 2018, after its sole developer and founder of the studio, Rafael Vazquez, watched CGP Grey’s video on the Rules for Rulers (linked below). Inspired, Rafa started prototypes in 2018 during Global Game Jam. Since then, Rafa has worked day and night on evolving this game into a full fleshed strategy sim with a focus on understanding how societies are connected and subverting them. He’s showcased the game throughout its development to the Vancouver Indie Community and at 2019's PAX Indie Forest. With much encouragement from the local community and vocal feedback from enthusiastic testers, Rafa is proud to present his Kickstarter campaign. The campaign will enable him to fund the last stretch of development so to make it to the finish line. Check out the game demo below. If the game speaks to you, check out the Kickstarter; and don't hesitate to shoot Rafa an email if you have any comments or questions.
