Post/Capitalism

About

Post/Capitalism is a brief but pointed simulator that challenges players to rebuild a society beyond traditional economic systems. You take control of a small community working to dismantle capitalist structures through resource management and policy decisions. The gameplay focuses on balancing needs like housing, education, and healthcare while navigating systemic challenges. Progress isn’t measured in profits or power but in collective well-being and sustainability. The mechanics are simple but deliberate, emphasizing planning over action. The game’s bold thematic focus sets it apart. While short, under two hours, it sparks conversation about real-world economic models. User reviews on platforms like Itch.io highlight its niche appeal, with many calling it a “curious experiment” rather than a deep simulation. A 72% Metacritic score reflects mixed but respectful reception. Its abstract approach and political undertones may not suit all, but fans of cerebral indie games appreciate its audacity. Available on PC, Mac, Linux, and browsers since late 2017.
