About Oiligarchy
Oiligarchy puts you in charge of an oil company across decades. You scout new fields and drill wells while expanding into Texas, Alaska, the Middle East, Venezuela, and Nigeria. You also court politicians and try to shape public opinion as you chase profit.
You make choices in a boardroom and then act on a global map. You place rigs and build refineries to keep fuel moving. Spills, protests, and insurgents test your plans. You can hire private security or bankroll a coup to secure access. Peak oil arrives as fields mature. Production reaches a high point and then declines, which forces hard choices between aging sites and risky frontiers.
Politics and climate shape every run. Lobbying can tilt energy policy and reduce taxes, and public relations can calm outrage after a disaster. Droughts, hurricanes, blackouts, and flooded coasts grow more common if emissions rise. Those shocks can erase cities and revenue. You might cling to power through crackdowns and friendly leaders, or stumble into collapse when unrest spreads or demand falls. The game uses satire to show tradeoffs between profit and impact, and it links your choices to direct consequences.
