Task Force Barbro

Task Force Barbro Real-time tactical infiltration in an alternate Cold War Sweden.

Core Loop

• Build and manage your resistance cell from a hidden safehouse

• Infiltrate Soviet-occupied zones in real-time first-person missions

• Stealth, sabotage, disguise, extract — or die

• Permadeath is always on • Between missions, manage gear, intel, time, and territory in a turn-based campaign layer

World & Setting

• Alternate timeline: The USSR, ruled by the Kosmos Machine, a sentient ideological AI, occupies Scandinavia • Sweden collapses without resistance. The King vanishes. The U.S. provides questionable “aid.”

• You lead Task Force Barbro, a stay-behind resistance unit striking from the shadows

• Tactical Cold War thriller with low-tech, high-agency operations

Design Philosophy

• No randomness — success depends on player skill, failure is permanent

• Skills improve efficiency, not action access

• Tools unlock actions, not classes or restrictions

• Fully systemic: disguises, traps, and breaches obey grounded logic

• AI and players follow identical rules

• Emergent storytelling through player choices, intel, and faction dynamics
