A new evening newspaper is hitting the streets, and it's yours. But The Mnemograph Chronicle isn't just another one of the dozens of flimsy 'rags' that people devour every day. This is a paper written by a machine, the Mnemograph. For a genius inventor, what could be easier than creating a system capable of extracting information from the carefully harvested brains of unclaimed bodies at the municipal morgue? All that remained was to build an automated printing factory, so the power of steam could spread across the city, delivering news that chronicles its own downfall. The rise of the press attracts entrepreneurs of varying scruples every day, so... why not you? Your printing factory will need to be upgraded to achieve production speeds that can compete with the best-established publishers and reduce costs; regular repairs will also be necessary. The Mnemograph itself will need to be calibrated before each production, and its accuracy can be improved. You'll also need to manage stocks of paper, ink, copper, and coal. But most importantly, you'll need to carve out a place for yourself in a hostile world where anything goes. You'll have to get your hands dirty with the city's underworld, exploit its criminal talents, get involved in its schemes, pay for its services, and wade through the muck of corruption under the cover of night. Build a Unique Deck by Purchasing Services from the Underworld At night, you'll need to protect yourself from rival newspaper moguls who will try to sabotage you as you rise to the top. But if you want to own the biggest paper in the city, you'll also have to go on the offensive, enlisting the services of the underworld. As you progress, you'll encounter new characters. Each one offers different services tailored to a specific style of play. For instance, the crime boss provides basic services like thugs (orange cards), while the politician offers protection services (blue cards). You get to decide who you want to meet, allowing you to build a unique deck with a personalized play style. Calibrate the Mnemograph Before Each Production To make money, you need to sell newspapers. And to do that, you must calibrate the Mnemograph before each production run. After the brains are analyzed, you'll need to choose the main headline for the paper based on the engraving the Mnemograph has produced. If you make a mistake, you’ll end up publishing a newspaper with incorrect main information! Manage Your Supplies, Upgrade Your Printing Factory, and Make Repairs Carefully manage your supplies by buying and selling goods based on current prices to maximize profits. Upgrade your printing factory to reduce resource consumption and cautiously increase production speeds. Maintain your machines regularly to minimize the risk of breakdowns.
