📦 version 2016-07, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the crimesquad(6) page from the Games Manual, and the game itself is Liberal Crime Squad 💖. The NAME line is crimesquad - Liberal Crime Squad, bestie.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It’s a satirical console-based political role-playing/strategy game where you recruit a team of Elite Liberal radicals and try to save the United States from a descent into Arch-Conservatism 😭🔥. The gameplay is based loosely on the classic 1983 RPG Oubliette — yes, that Oubliette, icon behavior.

For the actual gameplay details, go read the manual 📖. It should have been included in the docs folder of your download, but it’s also available online. (The manual said so, not me.)
