The Director of Civic Events has vanished eleven minutes before Civicopolis opens its new Office of Streamlined Permits. You are appointed Acting Director and handed four dangerous instruments: the master schedule, the public-address console, the master keys, and the legal order of ceremony. The mayor needs a legacy, the inspector needs an incident-free incident report, the publicist needs a disaster photogenic enough to deny, and the stagehand needs every metaphor classified as paid work. Across eight episodes, your operational decisions become clauses, broadcasts, lockouts, callbacks, and public consequences. The facts of the farce do not wait politely offstage: whoever gets the key controls the next crisis, whatever you put on the schedule becomes municipal law, and the exact words you broadcast return in the finale. You do not watch the ceremony collapse. You decide the shape in which it remains standing.

The appointment form says ACTING DIRECTOR in type large enough to conceal the line ‘until personally blamed or 13:30, whichever occurs first.’

Le monde

Metropolitan Bureaucracy

Metropolitan Bureaucracy is a sprawling civic hub obsessed with protocol, where the annual Centennial Civic Opening is the pinnacle of municipal pride. The city’s departments are staffed by specialists who wield bureaucratic language like swords, and every official believes that exact wording can make or break their legacy. The opening is over‑planned to the point of absurdity, with layers of safety drills, media spin, union negotiations, and ceremonial pomp all stacked into a single day. In this environment, the director of the opening has been mysteriously incapacitated, leaving the reader to inherit the master schedule, the public‑address system, and the master keys. Each stakeholder’s incompatible objectives turn the ceremony into a high‑stakes farce, where a single mis‑ordered line or misplaced key can cascade into city‑wide scandal or disaster.
