Steam Announcement
Hi there!
We, our small two person studio Power Struggle Games, have been working on our first ever game for 3 years. We have been quietly working behind the scenes, and now we would like to share our development journey with you.
The Invisible Hand puts you in the shoes of a mid-level stockbroker, experiencing their obsessive daily life as they pursue wealth and success at the cost of everything else… possibly even your freedom.
Caught in the hamster wheel of a stock broking agency, your every day is a heady mix of high stakes decision making under pressure. Presented with profit targets by a boss who has no hesitation to sack you, you’ll need to engage in panic sales and timed events, lobby society groups to influence the stock market, and even undertake all-out majority share acquisitions, all while keeping social movements in check.
We sought out to make a game that was about the politics of work and money, exploring the way we produce and value things. We chose a stock market driven dystopia as the setting of our story, where you’ll be reaching for your tenth enhanced coffee before the working day is done.
We are still early in development but you can follow the development progress right here on Steam, on TIG forums, or follow the Power Struggle Games twitter.
If you are interested in the game and have questions, feel free to ask away. We will be monitoring the boards regularly, with some help from our friends at Fellow Traveller. We are working with their wonderful team to publish the game.
Cheers,
Benjamin and Nicolas
