A mayor simulator where corruption is gameplay

City-building meets political sandbox: you run a town and can lean into corruption, press manipulation, gang conflicts and police investigations. The pitch is provocative, but the Steam page is just the stock storefront — there’s no evidence yet that the ‘illegal mechanics’ will form deep, systemic gameplay rather than episodic gimmicks. If they deliver convincing faction AI, reputation economies and real trade-offs for corruption vs legitimacy, this could move from curiosity to something worth following.
