Minerva Rising is a post-apocalyptic city builder where players control an artificial intelligence managing an underground city split into multiple levels. Each level has its own resources, industries, and communities. The game's core mechanic introduces consequences for poor governance. If you neglect a level's needs, such as oxygen supply, subversives on that level can hack your camera feed and cut your access to their activities, leaving you blind to what happens there. The report notes the potential for multiple levels to lose faith and disable all camera feeds simultaneously, reducing visibility to error messages. The game draws comparisons to Frostpunk and Silo. Rock Paper Shotgun covered the title.
