Sigma Theory: Global Cold War is an espionage strategy game developed and published by Mi-Clos Studio (Out There), and released for PC through Steam Early Access on April 18, 2019.In the near future, a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery looms over the world, promising radical new technologies. The world’s superpowers realize that these new developments could destroy the global financial system, wipe out entire countries overnight, or even grant immortality. However, this discovery — called “The Sigma Theory” — can only be harnessed by a handful of scientists. You the head of your country’s Sigma research division, with the objective of ensuring that your nation comes out on top of the new Cold War. To achieve this, your government has granted you powerful resources: a cadre of the world’s most elite covert agents, advanced tactical drones, and — of course — authorization to use diplomacy and subterfuge with the other nations' Sigma teams. Your goal: win the cold war, discover the technologies first, and reach the endgame of the Sigma revolution.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: A number of agents are inspired by real life persons: Agent Leak, aka "Jack Rainden", is obviously based on whistleblower Edward Snowden Agent Double K, aka "Karl Kohl", is clearly based on legendary German hacker Karl Koch.

Tech Tree
 Sigma Theory (Video Game) / int_7b4d0c39
comment
Tech Tree: A limited variant. Sigma Theory research is divided into five fields: Neuroscience, Health, Finance, Robotics, and Astrophysics. Each tech of a field is learned in a set sequence, with each subsequent tech being worth one more Sigma Point than the last. Interestingly, unlike most 4X style tech trees, only the first nation to research a tech gets its benefit. In another difference, the final Sigma Theory (and associated victory) doesn't require you to research ALL the way to the end of the tree — you simply need 15 Sigma Points worth of earlier techs.

Comeback Mechanic: Hooray, you got 15 Sigma Points and can now get started on the ultimate Sigma Theory which will win you the game! But to do that, you need to pull scientists from your Sigma research to work specifically on this final theory. And unlike the earlier Sigma techs, the theory itself doesn't help you in any way before it's finally complete. So while you're busy with the theory, your rivals who are behind can keep unlocking the remaining Sigma techs and reaping their benefits — and now you're at the top of their hit list. Luckily, this cuts both ways, as you yourself can (and in fact must) keep gaining new Sigma techs when an AI player hits the big 15 first.

Double Agent: It's possible to convert scientists in enemy territories to your side, slowing down their research into Sigma Theory while advancing your own, though they will break ties if contact isn't made with their converter regularly. It's possible for the enemy to do this to the player's scientists as well, and your agents might outright leave and start working against you if a rival makes enough progress with their own research.

The Singularity
 Sigma Theory (Video Game) / int_d8b3412b
comment
The Singularity: The goal of the final Sigma Project. In this game's interpretation of the Singularity, the winner becomes a Deity of Human Origin, capable of destroying or uplifting all humanity with a mere thought. Whether this ends up being a good, bad, or even indifferent ending depends on the state of the world when the game ends.

There Can Be Only One
 Sigma Theory (Video Game) / int_e69004a6
comment
There Can Be Only One: As the game progresses, the nations in last place will regularly drop out of the game. At first, this will be because they have abandoned any hope of catching up in the Sigma race, but later in the game, it can be because someone else's latest Sigma tech allowed them to annihilate the losing nation in literally ONE day.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: In one ending, upon attaining godhood and judging the rest of humanity unworthy, the player wipes all memory and evidence of all Sigma Theory research from the world, before going off to start new civilizations unopposed elsewhere in the cosmos.

Impossible Genius: Sigma Theory research is only possible because of a limited number of scientists of different fields possessing this, which the player must seduce, bribe, persuade, or just outright abduct to their side.
