Polar
Welcome to Polar, a colorful yet strategic journey into the mechanics of disinformation and propaganda.
You and your friends become political figureheads of competing factions, each attempting to sway a neutral forest society to your point of view.
In Polar, three factions—PRAGMA, UNITY, and VOLATUS—compete to sway a society.
As you play cards to manipulate events and opponents, you’ll see how methods of disinformation and propaganda can quickly polarize a once-neutral society.
Through each round’s event, you’ll witness how cleverly you can convert an unsure society to your cause.
The game aims to end up with the highest polarization score, highlighting the consequences of the winning faction.
Tips & Hints
Choose a Faction, each with unique cards and strategies.
Watch an Event Card story, a global scenario that affects all players, setting the stage.
Learn about disinformation and propaganda techniques.
Use Hand Cards against opponents or neutral society to polarize society.

I absolutely love the concept of this game! The art style, atmosphere, and overall vibe are amazing. I’d love to see a more developed version of this idea, though I’m not entirely sure what that would look like. Maybe a full story-driven campaign with player votes on different topics—not just about berries? I don’t know, but I’d love to find out!
The main thing we are working with is multiplayer mode, but we have some ideas about singleplayer campaign. Also we want to enchance some visuals and add some new mechanics, such as protective cards. We will surely add Steam lobby integration and a lot of social features such as voice chat, emotes etc. Because of time limitations we have made only one event (about Berries), but full game will contain a lot of controversial events.
If you wish, there is our discord: https://discord.gg/RZmU6UHYs4
There will be some news about development and Steam key's for testing.
Thanks for the interest!
Thank you for your feedback! We are working on new stories for singleplayer and new cards and mechanics. We will inform all the updates and progress on itch
