Published in 1992 by VirginInteractive, Floor 13 is an odd but unique strategy game. The game is set in Great Britain, where the player is promoted to the Director General of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries to replace the last [=DG=] who suffered a fatal case of [[DestinationDefenestration defenestration]].
Of course, the Department is merely a front to the player's actual task - to keep the Prime Minister and the Government popular while avoiding drawing too much attention. The player is presented with a variety of cases ranging from defecting politicians to secret societies. At the player's disposal are tools such as search teams, assassins and heavy assault squads. Failure to keep the Government popular will result in the player being fired, while being "too loud" will result in a certain Mr Garcia defenestrating the player like their precedessor.
To further complicate the game, the player is a member of a secret society as well, and has the option of completing their missions along with their usual duties in the department.
!!The game provides examples of:
* BodySnatcher: A society side quest involved these.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: The "removal" teams tend to do this, which is probably the reason why they need much more planning time than the more direct heavy assault squads.
* PropagandaMachine: The player has a dis-information department at their disposal, but it can only be used a limited number of times. It's still very effective when used on the opposition.
* RansackedRoom: The player can order "discreet" and "ransack" searches. The latter presumably leaves behind this, and if used too often will result in the Prime Minister getting angry.
* VillainProtagonist: In order to progress in the game, the player has to order smear campaigns, assassinations, abductions and torture.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The Prime Minister, unless the player screws up.
