Oiligarchy is a playable commentary on the oil industry. The player takes the role of an “oiligarch” managing the extraction business in the homeland and overseas, and lobbies the government to keep the carbon-fossil based economy as profitable as possible. Purely economical activities range from finding new oil fields to building extraction plants and managing resources. Oiligarchy can be considered an extended business sim/tycoon game since the player makes decisions and performs actions that are not always in the domain of business. This mixed gameplay is meant to highlight the intricate relations between war, politics and energy corporations.
