In this game set in the late 19th century, you manage the spy agency of your chosen country. Though your personal goals may be chosen as you wish, the game ends if a World War breaks out, so tread carefully.

Note to players:
Due to an unexpected illness for half the jam period, I have not managed to complete my game, which is closer to a beta or tech demo at this point.
At this point, it is not possible to found your own agency, so only the countries that have historically founded a spy agency at the start of the game (France, Germany, Austria-Hungary) are playable. As the French agency (technically two, but my game just fuses them) was the most expansive as to its field of responsibilities, I recommend playing France.
The number and effect of tasks are extremely limited and partly very bugged. Play with caution! I plan to develop this game further and update it once the rating period is done, so please report any bugs you have found.
