STORY

From the creators of the award-winning sci-fi game Out There...

In the near future, a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery looms over the world, promising radical new technologies. The world’s superpowers realize they could have the power to destroy the global financial system, wipe out entire countries or even gain access to immortality.

However, this discovery — called “The Sigma Theory” — can only be harnessed by a handful of scientists. You are placed at the head of your country’s Sigma division. Your objective is to ensure that it is your nation that reaps the benefits of Sigma Theory before anyone else.

To achieve this you will have powerful resources at your disposal: a cadre of the world’s most elite covert agents, advanced tactical drones and, of course, your own skills in diplomacy and subterfuge.

It’s a cold war out there, one in which mankind must face up to its future.

THE ULTIMATE ESPIONAGE SIMULATION

Turn-based espionage: Use your special agents to dominate the world. Seduction, blackmail, manipulation, industrial espionage… Every low blow is both permitted and encouraged.
Dynamic narrative: Develop and manage your relations with over 100 NPCs: lobbies, armed groups, politicians… Alliance, deception or assassination, you choose.
Field operations: Direct the kidnapping of your targets during gripping pursuits through the world’s greatest cities. Discretion or direct confrontation, your agent’s life is in your hands.

Recruitment
First, recruit a team of four special agents from 50 unique unlockable characters to support your missions. Each comes with their own story, motivations and traits that define their behavior during missions.
Access the investigator, soldier, hacker, seducer and other archetypes to complete your Sigma division and execute your strategy.

Espionage
When your team is ready, assign them missions around the world to gather scientists, discover compromising documents on local politicians, and more.
Exploit your agents’ abilities to seduce, manipulate and bribe your targets over to your side or have them neutralized.

Counter-espionage
Other nations will also use their agents to infiltrate your country and seize your scientists. Track, capture and interrogate them to gain information on your enemies, then exchange them for ransom when they are no longer useful.

Exfiltration
Order your agents to exfiltrate scientists recruited to your cause during gripping turn-based exfiltration phases through the world’s greatest capitals. Choose the position your drones wisely to support these delicate missions.

Diplomacy
In Sigma Theory, diplomacy is the key to achieving your goals. Meet your foreign counterparts and further your objectives using flattery, threats or blackmail. You can also recover your captured agents, advance your research, and much more. Develop your relations with powerful lobbies and armed and influential groups to obtain their favor. But be careful, they may turn on you.

Tech Tree
Sigma Theory is the cause of this cold war. Rally scientists from around the world to your cause to discover new technologies to gain the edge and change the world. Mind control, destabilization of the world economy, robot soldiers, immortality… Will you keep these discoveries for yourself or share them with the world?

Unique and engaging

A game about spies, cover operations and betrayal that manages to keep you on your toes most of the time. So the world is after some completely insane technologies that can change the future of the humanity, cure diseases, end hunger, teleportation and invisibility, but instead of celebrating this every faction seeks to outdo the other and get as many of these technologies for itself. The faction that manages to unlock the most of them will be in the best position to raise to the top and eventually dominate the world. So in this context you're getting the task to secretly infiltrate other factions, steal their research and scientists, sabotage them and of course, help your faction raise to the top. The game starts slow, each faction pretending to play nice, somehow old alliances are respected, and you cannot just make yourself too visible by barging in other nation's territory and starting a rampage. But as the game progresses the reality settles in. Others get the upper hand, your scientists are kidnapped, tech stolen, network hacked, agents killed. You start to understand that the surface calm is actually masking a complete underground war between faction and you give up on morals and dive in in full force. You will lose initially, but learn more and more about the world and how everyone, including the so called friends, are all just a bunch of ruthless a-holes that will betray you whenever you show any weakness. By my forth everything became clear. There are no morals, there are not friends or enemies. The world is your chess table and you're here to win trough any means necessary. Replayability is decent, choosing other factions and agents will surely give you different options each time. The gameplay is nice, the graphics are decent and it is quite well polished. I give it 4/5 stars as I feel like it could benefit from more content, more side stories, more technologies and so on, on short it was good enough that I kid of want seconds.

Simplistic and repetitive

I still remember my disappointment when I bought this on Steam some time ago - but now I got it for free on GOG, so at least I can write a review. The biggest disappointment is diplomacy - there are no real relations, the other nations do not pursue a real agenda, it's all simplistic processes, repetitive gameplay, and the agents have no personalities to speak off. But hey - I made an agent in Steam Workshop for this game. Enjoy! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1969421794
