Devlog #1 – Veil of Secrets

1. Hook & Premise

In the shattered remains of civilization, three factions vie for supremacy over dwindling resources. You’re a drifter with no loyalty—just instinct. Recruited by one faction, you infiltrate their ranks, harvesting every scrap of data—from whispered rumors to discarded trinkets—to sell to their rivals. In a world where knowledge is currency, trust is expendable, and even secrets can be weaponized, how far will you go to survive?

2. Core Loop (MVP Focus)

We’re concentrating on two core pillars to ensure a tight, repeatable loop:

1. Intel Gathering

   • Environmental Scans: Investigate rooms, inspect personal effects, eavesdrop on NPCs.

   • Data Fragments: Each discovery yields “intel fragments” tagged by type (personal, political, military).

2. Black‑Market Trading

   • Faction Markets: Two rival markets—each pays differently for fragment types.

   • Risk vs. Reward: Higher payouts risk greater suspicion and possible counter‑espionage.

By the end of the jam, we expect a fully playable cycle: choose a faction to join, gather intel, trade it off, and watch faction standing shift.
