About this game

Lead an entire nation to salvation – or destruction – in a post-apocalyptic world set beyond the year 2075. With a simple swipe of your finger, left or right, you’ll be able to decide of this Nation’s destiny, taking hard decisions about different quests and problems, that will be brought to your presidential attention. Be careful though: leading has never been easy and it will be even more challenging in a similar world. Something mysterious has thrown the whole future humanity in a deep confusion, causing a continuous stream of events as wars, illness, famine. No one seems to recall what started this all, no one seems to know anything about the odd events that keeps involving the planet, no one can explain why you seem to rise every time someone tries to keep you down.

So be careful, and think long and hard each and every decision, because nothing happens by chance. Every single event might help you reach your final victory, but at the same time it could be the reason of your failure. Who will be your friend, and who will be your enemy? Hard to say in such a complex world filled with betrayals, aliens, bionic beings and ancient myths. What’s done is done, and you can just play your cards as well as you can in this inevitable race against time.

Ratings and reviews

First and foremost, this is a great leader simulation game with some surprising twists. The scenarios are quite realistic and the game overall is reasonably forgiving, unlike the sequel. My only gripe (and the reason it's 4 stars) is that it is incredibly easy to get the best ending on the first playthrough, and although you can play something akin to a new game+, there really is no point due to the repetitive scenarios and the ability only to get the bad endings. This problem isn't too bad, tho

This is a great game, the story is engaging and the challenge is consistent. A key thing for anyone to know before downloading this game is that is takes a long time to complete and is not ment to be finished within a day or so. It is a great game to play anytime you're waiting for a bus or just need something to do. It is intended to be challenging, frustrating and slow. I would recommend to those who like 'sustain a civilisation' type games. The idea is original with an engaging concept.

Great start, gets repetitive and boring after a while. Never got to the end to find out what happened in the story, even tho it was very intriguing at first. Haven't played it in months now and im probably not gonna continue either. Loved the idea, the characters and the gameplay mechanics but it got really repetitive in the later stages of the game which made it feel more of a chore than "playing-a-game" to get the reward. (unraveling of the plot) I still recommend trying it
