About the Story

This is A War of a Madman's Making: A combination of Visual Novel and text-based RPG centered around war planning and political survival, inspired by games like Suzerain and Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa.

War of a Madman's Making is set in a fictional world where nuclear escalation has blackened the skies. You are a citizen who has been mysteriously called up to serve as Field Marshal of the Great Leader's army. Through a combination of resource management, political maneuvering, and strategic military planning, you must survive the impending war - and the purges and assassinations that will come along with it.

You have the freedom to be ruthless in your methods, but doing so too freely could have consequences - particularly if you face a tribunal for crimes against humanity. However, mismanage your resources pursuing nobler causes, and you'll find a similar fate at the hands of your beloved Great Leader.

Rein in the disaster, protect your family, and survive the purges.

Features
- ~70k word story with 5 major endings.
- Resource management. Maintain a military budget, popularity with the Leader's cabinet, and favor with the Great Leader himself.
- Choose your allies and enemies. Scheme amongst the Leader's staff or even against the Leader himself.
- Manipulate your reports when you must give bad news to the Great Leader, but be careful not to push your luck.
- Retro-style soundtrack by Borealis (Shirli Ainsworth) full of tense overtures and bombastic battle themes.
- An encyclopaedia filled with lore and character details - including nuggets that an astute player will find useful.
