Our Grand strategy - Secret Government just released in Early Access for 19.99 USD/EUR with 10% launch discount! The full launch is planned for later this year with the Early Access being an important tool for us to gather valuable feedback from you guys as well as work hand in hand with you to deliver the ultimate illuminati simulator.

The road to this point has been long, difficult but we are just excited to share with you what we have been working on all this time. You already got a small glimpse during the Steam Game Festival but that was just a glimpse. Now it is time to truly start your own ancient secret order and just go crazy... World is your playground.

We still have months of development ahead of us which will be once again test us, but we believe it will be a wee bit easier with your help. We really want to hear from you and receive as much feedback as possible. We have always wanted to make a grand-strategy where you would be the ones in the shadows instead on the fort-front so this for us is a dream come true and we hope that the game itself will be for you, once you play it :)



So, let the rule of your ancient order begin...

Hello everyone,

we are super excited to finally share with you a release date of the Early Access version of the game!

June 22nd is the day when Secret Government officially launches in Early Access giving you the opportunity to jump in and lead your very own centuries old institution, pulling the strings from the shadows, influencing world changing events and making history your own!

[h3]What to expect in the Early Access you ask? [/h3]

The Early Access includes the historical mode, consisting of a tutorial and one full story mission, affecting the events of the English Revolution. A simplified version of the free play mode is also available, where the player can set the objectives of their own.

The Early Access version includes all the main game mechanics and tools to influence them, such as wars, trade and production, relations between countries, revolutions, elections, class values, migration, and counteracting another Brotherhood. This will give you an idea of what we are trying to create before the full release.

We also have a detailed roadmap to give you the idea of what to expect going forward. We have our own vision of the game but the point of Early Access is to share it with you and gather as much feedback from you as possible to create the best possible experience we can. We want to hear from you so please feel free to write us either here on Steam or our social media.



Lastly, we will have a demo live during the whole Steam Game Festival, so it's ideal opportunity for you to check out the game and see if it is interesting to you.
