Classified: Top Secret

Classified: Top Secret is a strategic game of espionage, courage, and resistance set in the heart of occupied Belgium during World War II. Take command of a covert resistance network as you fight to undermine the occupying forces, gather vital intelligence, and protect your fellow citizens.

Game Features

  • Historical Setting: Immerse yourself in the tension and danger of 1942 Belgium, divided into five distinct districts.
  • Strategic Gameplay: Recruit operatives, and plan missions to disrupt enemy plans and aid the resistance.
  • Dynamic Resistance Network: Adapt to ever-changing threats and challenges as your choices shape the course of the resistance.
  • Compelling Storytelling: Follow gripping narratives of bravery and sacrifice inspired by real historical events.

How To Play

  1. SURVEILLANCE
    • Begin by scouting districts to uncover potential sympathisers.
  2. PROPAGANDA
    • Once potential sympathisers are identified, spread propaganda to win them over to your cause.
    • Success increases the Resistance level and strengthens your network.
  3. ESPIONAGE
    • Send agents on missions to gather Intel from key locations like factories, ports, or garrisons.
    • Intel is crucial for crafting Plans and executing high-impact operations.
  4. PLANNING
    • Combine gathered Intel into actionable Plans. Plans can disrupt enemy operations, protect districts, or boost the resistance effort significantly.

Your Objectives

  • Raise Resistance: Increase the town's Resistance level high enough to trigger the final endgame mission.
  • Manage Heat: Keep Heat low to avoid drawing the attention of the secret police. Too much Heat can lead to devastating crackdowns.

Tips for Success

  • Balance Risk and Reward: Actions raise Heat—plan carefully to avoid overexposure.
  • Use Agent Skills Effectively: Assign agents to tasks they excel at, whether it's charm for propaganda or subtlety for espionage.
  • Leverage District Bonuses: Achieving milestones in different districts grants powerful global bonuses—don’t ignore them!
  • Adapt to Changing Threats: The enemy reacts dynamically to your progress. Stay flexible and shift strategies as needed.

The game looks amazing, really like the feel and concept of the game. there is a flickering UI when hovering on map. Also please add full screen ability as itch UI overlaps game elements. you may add a Background music to enhance the main gameplay. I really enjoyed the game, keep up the good work.
