Dear agents, please welcome update 0.17! This update brings a new game mode and makes the end game more challenging with the end game balancing. The UI got some polish here and there for your convenience. And, of course, more bugs have been fixed.

Custom Mode

When starting a new game, you can now choose between Classic or Custom mode. Custom mode lets you tweak game mechanics to fit your needs. Weve created some presets you can start off with : Easy, Normal and Hard. Leaderboards, achievements and agent unlock are disabled when playing a custom game. If you have some suggestions about options that could be added, please let us know!

End game balancing

To make the end game more challenging, the AIs will now be able to develop the Sigma project as well. So youll have to be more aggressive and disrupt your opponents research if you want to win the technological race. Good luck with that!

Whats up next

Modding tools (via Steam Workshop) are taking life slowly and we hope to have a first iteration for you in the next update. We are firstly aiming at localization tools and character creation (agents and diplomats). Spouse mechanics rework and new scoring system are also on the way.

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.
