Pure Sense of Power
Some people has already commented on our game, that they do not get the idea. I could agree, may be it was not that much superficial. Basically it supports the concept of POWER first introduced by post-modernist and post-structuralist philosopher Michel Foucault. In general it is about penal system and system of European power from its start in the modern civilization. According to it, so to say, places of enclosure, such as prisons and factories, keep people under control. Therefore, it is easier for governmental structures to rule, to gain more power and keep folks obedient, with the help of these places.
By sliding the percentage of indicators, YOU may decide whether the demography or workers or children at schools or prisoners are controlled more or less. YOU can become a cruel master of this world or you can be kind and lose the POWER. YOU DECIDE!
Will you discipline and punish or will you choose other ways? Try it yourself:
