Pax Autocratica: Prologue

1% of all net revenue from Pax Autocratica will be donated to humanitarian assistance in conflict-affected countries, through the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), a politically neutral humanitarian organization providing life-saving assistance to people affected by displacement and conflict. (For more details please check the related pinned forum post)

The free prologue of "Pax Autocratica" invites you to establish the foundations of the greatest regime in history in this darkly satirical totalitarian colony sim + FPS roguelite hybrid. You are tasked with managing and leading your citizens to spread your doctrine through the first sector "Elysia" and free it from the oppression of the current ruling power.

Add the Prologue to your wishlist to be notified on release. If you enjoy it, wishlist the full game.

Dictate wisely as your choices will shape society, for better or worse.

Notes about the Prologue:

The Prologue contains a limited portion of the full game. The scale of the base and the battles is smaller than in Early Access. Certain advanced systems, such as deeper automation, mechs, and other late‑game mechanics, are not available here. Content and balance may change before Early Access release.

Content Breakdown (subject to change):

• 1 space sector (out of 4 sectors & 4 boss in Full Game)

• 47 roguelite buffs (out of 225 in Early Access)

• 15 buildings (out of 65 in Early Access)

• 6 weapons (out of 18 in Early Access)

• 3 player classes (out of 10 in Early Access)

• 9 troop types (out of 29 in Early Access)

• 2 policies (out of 189 in Early Access)

Mold your populace by enacting tyrannical or benevolent reforms to sway your citizens’ Fear, Happiness, Hunger, and Loyalty.

Indoctrinate them through propaganda, surveillance towers, whippings, and public executions until even their dreams serve the State.

Or rise as the benevolent visionary of a new age, providing comfort, healthcare, and prosperity to those who once despaired.

Every decree shapes the soul of your regime, and the fate of those who live beneath it.

Build your state apparatus. Turn a handful of survivors into a tightly run, self-sustaining machine.

Expand your base from a cluster of shelters into an immense complex housing a growing population, each citizen serving the grand design of your regime.

Research new technologies, buildings, and doctrines to refine your colony’s efficiency and tighten your control.

Automate production lines and streamline logistics in the full game. In the Prologue, lay the groundwork and watch facilities hum with the cold precision of industry. Every upgrade is efficiency, every structure, a testament to your vision.

You, the Leader of Auroria, will venture into the frontier of the Tyris System to conquer the fractured territories ruled by rival regimes.

Conscript new citizens, gather vital resources, trade with wandering merchants, and influence local populations through decisive acts that shift the balance of power.

Then lead your forces into battle. From desperate skirmishes to large-scale mechanized battlefields of infantry, tanks, and mechs, each victory is another step in spreading the regime.

During each expedition, choose among dozens of roguelite buffs in the Prologue (hundreds in the full game) to forge your path toward absolute supremacy.

Each campaign strengthens your base, your army and you, the Leader, alike: new resources, new recruits, and experience that unlocks advanced class skills.

No two expeditions unfold the same.

Pax Autocratica is a totalitarian colony sim and FPS roguelite hybrid that combines base building, citizen management, and first-person tactical combat in a sci-fi dystopian world. It offers a dynamic, accessible, and approachable gameplay experience for all.

It’s a game about power. How it’s built, how it corrupts, and how it consumes.

You will command armies, dictate laws, and witness consequences in every face that salutes you or fears you.

THE STATE OBSERVES ALL

How will history remember your reign?
