Car Park Capital propaganda
Propaganda makes carbrains. Protesters block drive-thrus and spread walkism; riot-police trucks are the listed counter.
Lots collect fees. Propaganda collects believers. The store page treats both as core systems, not flavour text.
The toolkit
Official copy lists:
- Read thoughts. Are they embracing cars, or seething at fees and oil drills?
- Statues, billboard posters, megaphones. "Turn everyone into a carbrain."
- Car Ferris wheel as a traffic-jam distraction.
- Stat-o-matic so you can watch the numbers.
Rock Paper Shotgun's coverage (quoted on the Steam hub) also mentioned billboards used to lean on pedestrians, and banana-mobiles. Treat press colour as colour until you can click the building in-game.
Protesters are a system
Devlog 1 is blunt. Demolishing neighbourhoods, cutting trees, paving, and drilling makes people unhappy. They protest, block drive-thrus, and spread walkism / commuterism. Your answer in that post: trucks of riot police, used until "order has been restored."
That is satire with a failure state. If reputation tanks, the lot does not print money in peace.
| Pressure | Official counter |

| Messy traffic | Ferris wheel for cars |
| Anti-car ideas | Statues, posters, megaphones |
| Active protests | Riot-police trucks |
| Empty tanks / few stalls | Gas price + more bays (described, not numeric) |
"Control the anti-car protests before they shatter your reputation." — Steam store
"Otherwise, people can get vulnerable to dangerous 'walkism' or 'commuterism' ideologies spread by protesters." — Devlog 1
