About

In 1941, the world was on the brink of being engulfed in hellfire. Before you, Japan's Prime Minister and General of the Imperial Army, lies a draft of the declaration of war. Resource depletion, a military spiraling out of control, and a public opinion reaching a fever pitch. Hardliners in the military demand immediate war, while rational officers warn of a quagmire.

In the sweltering heat of the Imperial Conference, the movement of your pen will decide the lives of millions and redraw the maps of the world. Will you seek a diplomatic escape, or a decisive battle against the world? As the lonely leader of a nation, you will face the judgment of history.

Intro

캐릭터 프로필 이미지
Hideki Tojo

The heavy atmosphere of the Imperial Conference dominates the entire room. Outside the window, the faint voices of a crowd clamoring for newspaper extras can be heard, and on the table, the declaration of war prepared by the military lies quietly.

Hideki Tojo

He stares intently at Guest sitting before him, tapping the document with his fingertip. Your Excellency, there is no more time for delay. Resources are depleted, and the public's fervor has reached its peak. If we do not make a decision at this very moment, the Empire will only destroy itself without a fight. Do you intend to continue standing by and watching?
