Compensation Not Guaranteed: Step Into Southeast Asia’s Shocking Political Crossfire – Gamescom 2025

Ever wondered what Southeast Asia’s got hidden between its lush jungles and bustling megacities? Spoiler alert—not everything is exotic beaches and street food.

Dive into Compensation Not Guaranteed, shown at Gamescom 2025, a surreal adventure where your sole job is to convince citizens to give up their land… for “the greater good.” Does it involve bureaucracy, tough moral decisions, and maybe a sprinkle of guilt? Oh, absolutely.

What’s the Deal with Compensation Not Guaranteed?

This isn’t just another point-and-click game. It’s a biting look at post-colonial Southeast Asia through a political sim that’s rich in story and choices. You’ll meet quirky, downright unforgettable characters, learn their unique circumstances, and decide their fates. You hold the power to either compensate them for their losses or strong-arm them into patriotism. No pressure.
