Pyrrhic Relations

Pyrrhic Relations is a puzzle/card game where you try to green-wash the actions of high profile companies by swaying public opinion.

Manage the multitude of companies you're working for, fight back the suspecting journalists and make sure the consequences of your actions don't catch up to you.

Controls

This game uses only mouse inputs.

Different jobs you can pick will be presented as cards, and each one will have their effects listed on them.

Reach the PR quota before the round ends to progress to the next one. In addition to their effects, playing each card will raise its level, making it more powerful when you play it in the future.
