Original Steam description
Task Force Barbro Real-time tactical infiltration in an alternate Cold War Sweden.
Core Loop
• Build and manage your resistance cell from a hidden safehouse
• Infiltrate Soviet-occupied zones in real-time first-person missions
• Stealth, sabotage, disguise, extract — or die
• Permadeath is always on • Between missions, manage gear, intel, time, and territory in a turn-based campaign layer
World & Setting
• Alternate timeline: The USSR, ruled by the Kosmos Machine, a sentient ideological AI, occupies Scandinavia • Sweden collapses without resistance. The King vanishes. The U.S. provides questionable “aid.”
• You lead Task Force Barbro, a stay-behind resistance unit striking from the shadows
• Tactical Cold War thriller with low-tech, high-agency operations
Design Philosophy
• No randomness — success depends on player skill, failure is permanent
• Skills improve efficiency, not action access
• Tools unlock actions, not classes or restrictions
• Fully systemic: disguises, traps, and breaches obey grounded logic
• AI and players follow identical rules
• Emergent storytelling through player choices, intel, and faction dynamics
