About this game

🦅 Rule the United States like a true mob boss.

This Is the President is a story-driven management game. Now that you've bought... wait, won the 2020 Election, your ultimate goal is to ratify Amendment 28 to grant yourself lifelong immunity. But the road there is full of pitfalls, and you'll need to clean up daily messes. Some might even call these distractions "presidential duties."

🗽 A POLITICAL THRILLER-SATIRE MIX
Score easy points by price-capping video games, or go big and regulate the whole Internet. In this political thriller-satire mix, your actions inescapably escalate into absurd situations. Rescue a toppled Russian president, send a hamster into space, or help a serial killer escape prison!

🕴️ MANAGE YOUR SHADOW CABINET
Thugs, hackers, journalists, and lawyers... you’ll need a variety of talents. When staff members dislike your decisions, remind them who covers up their dirty little secrets, like gambling, alcohol, and domestic violence. There is no moral dilemma that cannot be solved with a juicy bonus from our charity fund.

📜 CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION
Americans can put their faith in their cute little "separation of powers" all they want, but no one can resist your methods. Persuade, blackmail, bribe, and bully the political system into granting you lifelong immunity. Nothing can separate power from you.

Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

Wanted to give 5 starts but! After my phone died, the game only starts into a black screen. After force stop and reinstall and nothing I had to delete the app cache to fix the game. However, I lost my save. I don't save stuff to the cloud and only use local saves. Seems like an error handling issue when a none graceful shut down happens so when the cache is read it borks the start up. Now it only starts in a black screen. Not playable Other than the start up issue, this game rocks!!!!! Play it!
