How it feels

You pore over spreadsheets of voter data and tweak policy levers, watching opinion polls shift in response to your every decision.

What players say

Players are split on whether Democracy 4 is a fun sandbox or a broken simulation. Some say conservative policies always succeed while progressive ones crash the economy, others describe bending the system until their approval stays at 99% no matter what. The UI has a known bug where the screen zooms in and locks, and the support forums are closed.
