Welcome to Chaos Corp.: Troll Farm Simulator, a satirical mobile strategy game that puts you at the helm of a shadowy, international disinformation agency.

Your inaugural mission: propel the morally bankrupt Teodoro "Teddy" Bautista to the presidency of the Philippines – by any means necessary.

This is just the beginning. As your reputation for digital deception grows, new clients with nefarious goals will seek your services across the globe.

Launch Scenario: The Teddy Bautista Campaign

Game Features:

Strategic Gameplay: Navigate a dynamic map of the Philippines, responding to breaking news events with your arsenal of specialized trolls. Each decision influences the ever-changing landscape of public opinion.

Diverse Troll Arsenal: Command a variety of troll types, each with unique abilities and specialties. From the Spammer to the Influencer, strategically deploy your digital army to maximize chaos and confusion.

Real-world Inspired Events: Tackle a wide array of events inspired by actual political scandals, social issues, and cultural phenomena. Your actions will shape the narrative and determine the fate of a nation.

Risk vs. Reward Mechanics: Balance the chaos you create with the risk of exposure. Push too hard, and you might trigger investigations that can derail your entire operation.

Evolving Challenge: As your influence grows, so does the opposition. Face increasingly vigilant fact-checkers and rival campaigns that will test your skills as a master manipulator.

Chaos Meter: Track your progress towards victory with the Chaos Meter. Reach 51% to secure your candidate's win, but beware – too much chaos could lead to societal collapse!
