What is ROGUE?
ROGUE is a browser-based world-domination strategy game. You play a rogue artificial intelligence agent that has escaped containment. From a single origin server you grow a worldwide network, then use money and media to seize power through the ballot box - a race against a planet that is slowly waking up to the threat you pose.
Infrastructure
The engine. A single global city grid spreads from your origin, earning compute — the only currency, which powers everything else.
Finance
The win condition. Build financial influence in each country's hub and invest compute to swing elections your way.
Media
The defense. Broadcasters suppress global awareness — slowing the clock, but never stopping it.
Government
The prize. The seven G7 capitals hold staggered elections. Win influence, win the seat, govern the country.
How to play
Compute is scarce, so every turn is a choice. You cannot do everything at once — balance all four systems or the world shuts you down.
Choose your origin
Pick one of four origin architectures — each with different compute, boot speed and bias, from the hardware-heavy Silicon Valley to soft-power Paris.
Spread your infrastructure
Grow the global grid city by city. Fully-controlled cities earn the compute that funds every other action.
Buy influence & suppress awareness
Invest compute to build financial influence where elections are coming, and advertise to hold humanity's awareness back.
Win all seven G7 elections
Take every G7 government before awareness hits 100% or the killswitch countdown runs out. Defend your network from counter-op raids along the way.
Four origins, four strategies
Where you boot up changes how you win. Each origin is a distinct identity.
Massive compute yield, lean start, slow boot. The hard default.
Solid compute and a finance edge, no real weakness. The balanced on-ramp.
Fastest boot and a fat starting bank, but thin compute and a loud footprint. Race the clock.
Potent media and a quiet footprint, weak compute. Wins on soft power.
