Play the demo on Steam today, go hands-on with a roguelite experience at PAX West 2025
LOS ANGELES – 28 Aug. 2025 – Pax Autocratica, the satirical totalitarian colony sim with FPS roguelite battles from developer Multiverse, releases its debut demo today. The game will launch on PC via Steam Early Access in Q4 2025. Multiverse will present a different hands-on gameplay experience on the showfloor of PAX West 2025. Spread the regime in an exclusive mid-game battle sequence in level 4 of the Arch Building at booth #856 from 29 Aug. – 1 Sept. 2025.
Congratulations! You’ve been bestowed with the great honor of ruling over the most esteemed regime in the universe. Ensure compliance and loyalty by any means necessary, molding the populace through generous compassion…or abject cruelty. Roam the cosmos to spread the State’s superior doctrine across the galaxy.
Form an unstoppable battalion to dominate in action-packed FPS roguelite expeditions. Gather resources and conscript new citizens to the cause. Collect Core Fragments that will grant special abilities and change battle strategies for the better. Liberate those suffering under the clutches of oppression, gracing them with our influence and the prosperous values of the State.
Ensure peace back home by constructing and automating vital infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of the people. Manage salaries, healthcare, and working conditions carefully, or risk a decline in morale and productivity. Delicately handle bubbling uprisings with surveillance towers and propaganda, or punish rebels with brutal force to set an example.
“We’re building this game to let players interrogate power, not glorify it,” Freeman Fan, Founder and CEO, Multiverse. “Our sandbox transforms civics into systems, inviting players to test policies, confront trade-offs, and observe their ripple effects. We don’t punish authoritarian choices outright; instead, we surface their incentives, costs, and unintended consequences so players reflect critically rather than feel lectured. We aim to spark informed conversation, convey empathy for those living under such regimes, and offer a clearer sense of how societies slide, and how they can be pulled back.”
Pax Autocratica will launch on PC via Steam early access in Q4 2025. For more information, join the community on Discord and follow the game on TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, and Instagram.
