After the overthrow of British government in India and arrival of allied German troops in year 1938, begins the process of Caste Reformation, based on teachings of palmistry. Now the fate of an ordinary person depends only on their hands’ lines – and, of course, on your decisions, Herr Palmister.

## About This Game

India is finally free! Changes are coming!

The new government promises equality to every citizen, which will be achieved
by the Reformation of the Castes before the end of 1939. Now it is not the
birthright that determines the fate of a person, but their hands – the
distribution of new activities occur through the reading of the palm.

In this small indie narrative-focused game you play as a palmister, working in
a branch of the newly formed palm-reading agency in the Third Reich embassy in
Bombay. The relationships between the governments of Germany and the new, Free
Republic of India are very close. The Fuhrer denies participation of German
troops in the overthrow of the British regime, but it is rumored that only
German speech was heard on many merchant ships that arrived at the harbor a
couple of days before things heated up.

The gameplay is inspired by Papers, Please, and similar puzzle games; look
over people’s hands and select their new occupation according to the
combination of lines and palm type. Some of those people will gladly accept
their new occupation, some will not. There will be arguments, threats, and
tears. But in the end, the power is in your hands – and we can only hope it
will remain like that.

Be careful when you make decisions – in the power trip you may not notice how
a new revolution will flare up outside the window.
