This Is the President

About this game

This Is the President is a story-driven management game. In the year 2020, you are elected to be the President of the United States of America. To escape justice for your past crimes as a shady multi-millionaire businessman, you need to ratify Amendment 28 which would grant lifetime immunity to any President.

Manage your official and unofficial staff like a real mafioso to deal with all the old problems you’ve had in the past, as well as the shiny new problems that come with the office. You’ll battle with your competitors, the establishment, the media, and even foreign leaders.

In this political thriller-satire mix, the player's actions will inescapably lead to situations that escalate into absurd, terrifying, tragic, and even ridiculous situations.

But the road to lifelong immunity is full of pitfalls, and you’ll need to remember to clean up the daily messes that arise. Some might even call these distractions “presidential duties”.

There’s only one way out. Change the fabric of the Constitution of the United States by persuading, blackmailing, bribing, and bullying a large part of the political system into granting you lifelong immunity.

* Manage your approval rating, cash, and crew unlike any US President before – stay on top of your presidency by any means necessary

* Hold speeches, draft executive orders, manage daily crises, hold press conferences, and tweet better than any President before

* Hire a team of assassins, hackers, lobbyists, and other specialists. Send them on dangerous missions that can be solved by legal means. If that doesn’t work, send them on dangerous missions that can be solved by illegal means

* Experience a compelling interactive narrative with a wide variety of choices and story branches. Will you end your term on your terms, or are you just a pawn in a bigger game?

* Rule the country as a true mobster would with a shadow cabinet that is feared and respected on a global scale
* Supported languages: EN/RU

Ratings and reviews

When it works, it's been fun to play. Haven't made it all the way through the game yet, but a decent amount of time I get an "Unable to initialize the Unity Engine" error or it gets past the beginning load screen and then just shows a blank, black screen. Works if I close and reopen the game multiple times, but definitely annoying.

Good story, and it works fine, but I found the game too frustrating. You can't just hire people, there are requirements, and it makes it difficult to do all the tasks because you'll only have a handful of people on your staff. I don't mind failing a task because of luck, or a poor decision, but not being able to send people to complete the tasks is frustrating. Tldr; Needs more staff options.

Has a terrible habit of crashing and freezing. You are lucky to even get past the title screen as other people have mentioned. If you do, you are greeted with text boxes that are cut off. This a really bad problem when 90% of the gampelay relies on textboxes. Not to mention, this app drains a ton of battery for a text-based game. 0/10 A game that isn't worth downloading in the slightest.
