PRIMIS is a dark alternate-history roleplaying game set in the United States in 2055, decades after a national collapse reshaped the country into an authoritarian society obsessed with control, hierarchy, and stability.

The government operates through P.R.I.M.I.S. — the Program for Regulation, Integration, Management, and Institutional Stability. Under the system, women have been stripped of full legal independence and classified as Dependent-Class Citizens. Their lives are regulated, tracked, transferred, and auctioned through government-approved exchanges. Every profile is reduced to data: age, background, skills, temperament, risk level, and price.

The player enters the world as a registered citizen with access to the Primis Domestic Exchange. From there, they browse a selection of women, each with her own history, personality, strengths, fears, secrets, and attitude toward the system.

Each woman is a separate story route.

Choosing one does not simply start the same scenario with a different face. Every route is meant to play differently. One woman may be openly hostile and constantly looking for a way out. Another may appear cooperative while quietly manipulating the situation. Another may be deeply damaged by the system. Another may understand Primis so well that she becomes dangerous simply because of what she knows.

The core of the game is not about “winning” a character. It is about what happens after the purchase.

Your choices shape the relationship. You can build trust, create tension, enforce the rules, question the system, ignore the world outside your home, become complicit in it, or become involved in something much larger than you expected. Different women react differently to the same behavior, and some may hide motives that only become clear over time.

The tone is deliberately uncomfortable. Primis presents itself as orderly, efficient, patriotic, and necessary. The reality underneath is coercive, bureaucratic, and deeply dehumanizing. The contrast between the polished government interface and the human beings trapped inside it is a major part of the setting.

PRIMIS is a character-driven dystopian roleplay built around choice, consequence, trust, control, resistance, intimacy, and the cost of living inside a system that claims stability is worth any price.

Every woman has her own route.

Every route has its own secrets.

And every choice tells you something about who you are willing to become.
