A turn-based spy roguelike where you program your agent's doctrine, run a single operation, and when it's over Margaritte files your classified brief.

One agent. One mission. One story, written about you.

PROGRAM YOUR AGENT

Doctrine is a language, not a slider. Posture, dials, orders, and a prioritized behavior stack. Every agent plays your way — or not at all.

TURN-BASED STEALTH

Intent icons, destructible cover, light & darkness, silenced vs. unsilenced noise. Any misstep escalates the whole floor.

ENEMIES THAT REMEMBER

Guards run data-driven brains off a shared incidents board. They find bodies, call backup, check doors, and hold grudges.

VILLAINS, NOT BOSSES

Eight-axis personalities with grudges, musical themes, and the patience to write you a letter after you inconvenience them.

AI CASE FILES

Every run ends with a classified brief generated from your real data. Dwell turns. Mercy. Hesitations. Filed by Margaritte.

A PERSISTENT AGENCY

Death costs something. Agents carry careers, named weapons, and reputations. Factions run a world clock while you're away.

"Every agent who walks through that door becomes a file in my archive. Some files are thick. Some are barely a page. All of them are true."
