A downloadable game for Windows

A political choice game about surviving your term in office - one document at a time.

In current state the game works more as a proof of concept - the game loop is technically there, but there is no "game" to it.

Issues I plan on fixing post-jam:

  1. No way to pause
  2. No way to exit or restart game
  3. Balancing is... questionable
  4. Events repeat way too often
  5. Tutorial was thrown in in like 2 minutes, I plan on making a far better one
  6. Visual polish - I have some good plans for diegetic UI but it fell way out of scope for the jam
  7. Game feels too fast
  8. Fail conditions (aside from losing the election)

The stats and the choices are too far apart, and when you give the player the consequence of the choice, they will not read the document they just read the effects of the choices, that's what i did anyways. Other than that, that's a good start for a game.

Thanks for the feedback! I was actually worried about that as I noticed myself behaving in that way too (as well as anyone I got to playtest). I'll see if I can come up with a solution when I next work on it!
