Greetings, Comrade. You have been assigned to the Ministry of Truth of Democratic Republic of Kurvastan, where your job is simple: take incoming information and turn it into something the state can safely publish.

INSIDE JOB is a dystopian narrative management game set in the fictional Democratic Republic of Kurvastan.

Read reports. Choose how events should be framed. Follow Ministry directives. Censor documents before they reach print. Track the narratives already accepted by the public, and decide when to reinforce them — or contradict them.

Every editorial decision affects two things: Public Trust and Ministry Loyalty. Telling people what they already believe may keep their trust. Obeying the Ministry may secure your position. Doing both at once is not always possible.

As the seven-day campaign progresses, student protests turn into political arrests, border tensions become military escalation, shortages spread, and the state responds with increasingly severe measures. The stories you edit early in the week may return later in a very different form.

From your desktop you will work with:

Mail — receive directives, warnings, and official messages. Browser — process incoming reports and publish edited versions to the public. Notebook — track directives, restricted language, and the narratives shaping public opinion. Documents — replace, censor, or leave information untouched before it goes to print. Newspaper — see the final consequences of your document edits at the end of the day.

Your job is not to discover the truth.

Your job is to decide which version of it survives.
