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

It's 'okay'. It's an interesting concept but executed somewhat poorly. For one, the oracle either doesn't even do what it's supposed to or it's not explained properly how to use it as for me it seemingly just adds an icon to the top and that's it. Additionally the game feels completely rng driven and progressing is entirely up to luck and not skill or memory. Some cards simply hurt you either way and with how little resource you have getting one of these cards is a run ender.

The game is alright; the concept is interesting, challenging, usually enjoyable. I like that cards are added in throughout the game, which helps keep it fresh. However, some cards have very similar phrasing to one another: e.g., two similar cards that both have to do with security, where one may 'spend' security, and the other 'earn' security. Still, good game overall!

I love this game!! Starts off very simple, but as you go along a subtle storyline unfolds and makes it very interesting. Only been playing for a couple days and reached one of the possible endings. The only complaint I have would be that sometimes no matter which way you choose to answer the question you're going to lose, so that can be frustrating. Other than that an excellent chill game!!!
