The year is 2043. Last year, a devastating earthquake struck Rome, wiping out most of the city’s infrastructure. In its aftermath, Governor Julius Caesar declared a state of emergency, using his set of emergency powers to rebuild the city in the image of its people, amassing their undying support while accumulating unprecedented authority. Now, only the Senate stands between Caesar and his vision of the city – and you’ve just been elected.
Take Rome’s fate into your hands in this new, immersive telling of the tragedy of Julius Caesar. As one of a handful of newly elected Roman state senators, you’ll vote on a series of proposals about power, who should have it, and how to regulate it. Your choices will determine the scenes you see, the information you learn, and the way the story unfolds.
