🔥 HOT: App/ - Uncensored 2025

What's happening / TLDR: This is a small developer diary, a teaser, about Espiocracy - Cold War strategy game in which you play as an intelligence agency. You can catch up with the most important dev diary (The Vision) and find out more on Steam page.

Short intro: as always, we are posting a special dev diary on Christmas Eve. This time, it's a middle ground between previous AARs (after action report) from earlier Christmas specials and a teaser-set from the last special. For today's diary, I played in Vietnam for roughly 1h and recorded the campaign. From the recording, I captured a few interesting snapshots, which are collected below.

Establishing a new station on the first day of the game:

Guerrilla warfare in Iran, in a small battle Azeri militia defeated larger governmental forces:

Chinese Civil War progressing in the middle of 1946, while player chooses specialization in guerrilla warfare, which soon will allow them to establish new paramilitary organizations:

Rare piece of alternate history happened in this campaign: Newfoundland joined the USA.

Pacifist politician won presidential election in France...

...which enabled painless unification of the greater Vietnam. In the aftermath, Vietnamese intelligence community thrived, as can be seen for instance from the roster of spies.

However, there are more influential actors in France than just president - and just mere months later, France decided to retake Vietnam by force.

French forces quickly overwhelmed the country. However, this is not always game over in Espiocracy: given favorable circumstances (such as jungles or antagonized population), intelligence community can go underground and immediately begin insurgency.

And here's a hint at underground gameplay and ongoing insurgency:

Merry Christmas! The next dev diary will be posted after winter break, on February 6th!
