The Workday Loop
Start the day, make choices, and live with the result.
The core loop moves from planning the workday through action cards and into an end-of-day review.
Choose an Action
Spend limited time on productive work, visibility, favors, meetings, and other office pressures.
Review the Consequences
See how choices affected performance, stress, energy, reputation, and progress.
Life Systems
The job is only part of the problem.
Housing and transportation decisions connect the office loop to the character's money, reputation, and daily starting conditions.
Housing
Trade comfort for cost.
Housing choices affect expenses and the conditions the player begins each day with.
Transportation
Getting to work has consequences.
Transportation affects money, visibility, reputation, and the daily routine.
State of Dissent
Ordinary choices under extraordinary pressure.
A long-term narrative survival game about work, family, resistance, limited time, and the consequences of trying to live inside an increasingly hostile system.
Narrative Survival Game
Live inside the pressure.
State of Dissent combines exploration, conversation, daily survival, and personal obligation. The player moves through a city where ordinary routines, family relationships, and growing political pressure all compete for limited time and attention.
Long-term development
Personal choices under public pressure
