Despotism 3k is a side-scrolling real-time strategy game in a post-apocalyptic style. Humanity is enslaved by artificial intelligence and this is great because we are on the right side of the conflict. You can use lowly people to gain power and build your own empire. You'll need to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't succumb to exhaustion and starvation, although the weakest ones can always be thrown into the bioreactor.
The main gameplay involves transporting little people between various objects using mechanical claws. They rest in one of the rooms and work in the rest. Little people have to produce energy for us (which is constantly leaking), they also have to reproduce and feed themselves. In addition, after every five feedings, a random event occurs in the form of a text quest. The right choice can give you some kind of bonus, the wrong choice — well, you'll see.
