I am a big fan of SomaSim (even though I didn't really connect with their last game), so really looking forward to this release.
It definitely doesn't sound like that kind of game.
Although it would be intriguing if they an Easter egg of sorts which include something along the lines of what your described.
No pressure at all! Based on the games you do share, I think !adventuregames@lemm.ee could be a good fit for a lot of your recommendations.

Hey, feel free to crosspost to some other more indie focused gaming communities if you feel like it:
!tycoon@lemmy.world !adventuregames@lemm.ee !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works
These communities are relatively active although it's mostly me posting (I occasionally post notable releases to pc gaming and games).
Looks like a solid lo-fi indie horror. Although my backlog for this subgenre is actually very full. Did just finish mouthwashing which was a lot of fun.
I very much agree.
But there are other ways to create incentives for avoiding criminal behaviour and corruption (which IMO is closely tied to intolerance - a modern circus if you will).
Things like full asset seizure, mandatory multi-decade live-in community service work as a junior custodian in a medical centre.
If say an oligarch like Mark Zuckerberg (who very likely enabled mass killings in Myanmar both due to lack of concern and "risk management") had all his assets seized and was sent for 20 years to the Island of Bhasan Char to work all the lowest level janitor on the island, other oligarchs would understand that they need show a modicum of respect and understanding towards others.
Need to check this out.
I am one of those people that doesn't mind even outright bad graphics as long as the game is fun. :)
This looks cool.
US lacks the capability to control oligarchs. Corruption is too ingrained in American culture.
Not saying it has to be like that or that it can't change, but this is a reasonable evaluation based on widely accepted facts.
I also can't stand card mechanics. I don't know why, I don't mind a low stakes poker game or local card game styles with friends. Can't stand card based mechanics in video games.
FWIW, I think the term "echo-chamber" is way overused, almost to the point of being meaningless. I also don't believe in the sincerity and coherence of American-style conceptions of "free speech".
"Fediverse shouldn't allow convervatives communities" is nuts though. This is not workable from a practical perspective (forget the moral questions for a second).
Racism, overt dehumanisation, denial of widely accepted mass scale human rights abuses; that's something that can be managed from a moderation standpoint. But this would impact groups across the political spectrum (nazies, tankies, some far right, some far left).
I first heard the term "Chinawood" on a YT vid. From my understanding, it is not as established as Hollywood or Bollywood. I definitely know the term Bollywood is universally used/recognized in India. No clue whether the same is true for Chinawood in China, I am guessing it's not, but I could be wrong.
This is really cool.
