Spinnortality shows how a megacorp CEO takes over the world

According to Spinnortality, a dystopian society doesn’t get built in a day. It involves a lot of research and development, overthrowing a government or two, and sinking funds into insidious media takeovers. The cyberpunk management PC game is the latest project from indie developer James Patton, who most recently created the Renaissance-themed dating-slash-vengeance simulator Masques and Murder. He’s seeking about $12,000 for it on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

A free demo is available on Patton’s Itch.io page. It places you at the head of a megacorporation that’s a kind of quasi-Illuminati. You manipulate the world behind the scenes, rolling out data-collection software, bribing politicians, and developing nefarious technologies around gene splicing and artificial intelligence. The ultimate goal is global domination and immortality, as the title implies.
