Oiligarchy

Introduction to Oiligarchy

In Oiligarchy you step into an oil magnate’s boots and chase profits across the 20th century. You drill wells in Texas then scout fields in Iraq. Equipment failures, price swings and public outrage test every decision. The game highlights the pull of big money and the hard choices behind each barrel.

Permit battles come first in your bid for drilling rights. Local leaders react to every permit outcome. You shape news cycles with ads and strategic leaks. A single misstep sends protesters into the streets after a spill. The power you wield in elections shifts deals and rattles rival companies.

Oiligarchy shows the clash between pumping more oil and keeping the planet stable. It pushes players into tight spots over cleanup and climate damage. Market crashes after a spill expose how fast things can fall apart. This ride teaches more than profit hunting. It sparks thoughts about who wins and who pays.
