Oiligarchy is a strategy game where you explore and drill around the world, corrupt politicians, stop alternative energies, and increase oil addiction. It's all about the profits and not about the people and animals you may hurt along the way. Start drilling resources now!

I played this game in 2008 and even used it in an AP English class as examples of rhetoric. I tried looking for it not 3 months ago and I swear the Internet had never heard of it before. I'd love to own it on steam instead of playing it in a website

It's a flash game. Your browser downloaded it from here and played it in ruffle.

Yeah, unfortunately it seems like the dev only has 2 games available on Steam currently. Democratic Socialism Simulator which is 2.39€ and Green New Deal Simulator, which is free. That last one looks like the other side of Oligarchy!
