A deep turn-based 4X/citybuilding/simulation game with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Let's face it, when you play a game of this sort that has anything novel at all in it, the result at first is death spirals and unintentional hilarity.

Being safe from the other races because you have either stomped them under the heel of your boot or you have forged some sort of a relationship that makes them dependent on you.Well, that's the standard victory. Victory can also be blowing up the planet, becoming the planet's lackey, building a doomsday device that scares the other races into submission, or... escaping into space.

The mystery behind this is one you'll have to discover for yourself, but it is possible to break those bonds and win the game by reaching the unreachable.
