Take the throne and begin your pontificate in Conclave, a fictional swipe-based strategy game where every decision can change the course of your reign. Each card presents a dilemma. Swipe left or right to choose your response, then live with the consequences. Keep four forces in balance — the Faithful, the Curia, the Treasury and Tradition. Let any one of them fall too low or rise too high, and your reign may come to an abrupt end. But not every consequence arrives immediately. Decisions can unlock story chains that return years later, forcing you to face the results of choices you thought were long behind you. FEATURES • Simple swipe decisions with strategic consequences • Four competing meters to balance • Hidden effects that keep every choice uncertain • Story chains shaped by earlier decisions • Multiple endings, including legacy endings for long reigns • Codex with discovered endings, lifetime statistics and unlockable characters • Daily Conclave: a shared seeded challenge with the same setup for everyone that day • Counsel to reveal a card’s exact effects • One second chance per regular reign • Share your final reign and challenge others • Sound, haptics and atmospheric presentation • English interface options How will history remember your pontificate — as a reformer, a traditionalist, a survivor, or something else entirely? Your reign begins with a single swipe.

DeGen OS is a life simulator that lives inside a phone. You begin with a degree, student debt, and a phone. From there you build a life — a career, a portfolio, a reputation, a family. How you build it is entirely up to you. There are no tutorials and no objectives. You open apps and make decisions, and the decisions accumulate. A CAREER Choose a field, accept a position, and advance through the ranks. Perform well in reviews, earn promotions, and watch your salary rise. A stable income is the foundation of a stable life. A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO Sound financial planning means not keeping all your money in one place. DeGen OS lets you hold stocks, day-trade, buy crypto, hold crypto — so you can spread your capital across a plethora of platforms, as your strategy requires. SOCIAL CAPITAL Reputation is an asset like any other. Build your standing on a dating app where your status determines who you're able to reach. Match, settle down, and start a family. Your progress — and the occasional setback — is documented on a public feed for everyone's benefit. PROPERTY & VEHICLES You may have a hard time attracting partners while living at home with mom. Acquire homes and cars appropriate to your station in life. Financing is available. A LASTING LEGACY Marry, raise children, designate an heir, and pass your estate to the next generation. Estate planning is simply a part of responsible adulthood — as is the portion the tax authority collects on the way out. A FULLY CONNECTED SYSTEM Everything is accounted for. Your money is tracked as real transactions, not a figure on a meter. Rent, taxes, interest, credit limits, and the cost of living are all calculated continuously, whether or not you are paying attention. Choices in one part of your life are felt everywhere else. It is a calm, well-organized simulation of a person making a steadily increasing number of questionable decisions. — DeGen OS is a work of satire. It contains simulated, fictional depictions of money, status, and ambition. All photos are AI generated content, no real persons or brands are depicted. Every outcome is fictional and stays entirely within the game.
