A Worker's Guide to Espionage

About

A Worker’s Guide to Espionage is a minimalist simulation about running a workers’ union in a fictional corporate dystopia. You manage a small team of office employees covertly collecting data on exploitative management while organizing colleagues for collective action. Gameplay loops around gathering intel, planning strikes, and avoiding detection through a mix of stealth and bureaucratic sabotage. The art is pixelated and utilitarian with muted colors, matching the low-key subversion of the premise. The game’s most striking feature is its direct inspiration from real-world labor organizing guides, embedding practical strategies into its mechanics. While short and low-polish, it’s a clever conceptual experiment with a niche audience, those interested in labor history or satirical workplace themes. Community feedback notes its educational value is more subtle than overt, leaning on player interpretation of its systems.
