How it feels
A deliberate, story-heavy political journey where every decision nudges the path through a 1990s landscape of ambition and moral compromise.

What players say
Players praise the unique premise of a text-based political RPG set in the 1990s, with dialogue replacing combat. The game is short, about 2-5 hours, and offers multiple plotlines. However, many warn it is only episode one of an unfinished series, and as of 2019 the second episode was canceled, leading to mixed recommendations.
