An RPG in a dystopian extension of the current US political climate.


You are an academic, forced by the government to run fertility tests identifying fertile women for the “national breeding program.” Secretly horrified, you falsify records when possible to spare women from this fate. Dr. Lucy Rivera, a former reproductive health expert banned from practicing, helps you organize an escape route for falsely recorded infertile women. When one of your falsifications is discovered, you and Lucy must act quickly to avoid capture and save the women you’ve protected.

Set in the near-future, American democracy collapses under the weight of authoritarian rule, religious extremism, and engineered demographic crisis. After President Trump’s re-election and the far-right seizure of all government branches, sweeping purges dismantle federal institutions, gut universities, and criminalize dissent. The Patriot Renewal Act grants unchecked power to a regime that merges state surveillance, corporate tech, and militarized police to crush opposition. Following a deadly false-flag attack, mass arrests sweep through campuses and newsrooms. By 2028, the Family Protection and Growth Act turns the declining birth rate into a justification for systemic oppression: women lose rights, are forced into fertility tracking, and state-enforced reproduction becomes national policy. As the Constitution is indefinitely suspended and the American National Republic rises, ruled by billionaire loyalists and dominated by religious zealotry, borders close, executions return to television, and freedom vanishes beneath the banner of "faith, order, and obedience."
