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.

In-App Purchases:
The game is completely for free.
You can reach each and every ending without buying anything. Any purchase will be optional and, besides helping you a little bit along the game, will be a sort of donation for me.

FAQs and suggestions:
• How can you play? Press on the card and swipe it slowly left or right, so you can read the two possible options. Decide what choice you want to make, minding the four statistics. Keep in mind: every choice you make will have future consequences.
• Do I have to get to a certain year to end the game? No, you can reach an ending in any time! You just need to make the right choices and have a little bit of luck.

An interesting game that involves swiping and cards. In my opinion, a combination of dating apps, tarot and analytics. Every action has a consequence and you can find out each one depending on what you decide to do. The hardest would be trying to survive as long as possible even if it means deciding on things that will affect the 4 balances. 4/5 since I had to guess some answers when I had the secret encounters, not sure if it was deliberate or not. Also, all skills should be listed on top.

I love this game, it's a really simple concept but so well executed and the app is gorgeous and easy to use. No instructions but you understand how to play almost immediately. The progression arc is consistent and keeps me interested, the ability to use powers and unlock new cards always makes me want to play more. The story that's emerging is both fanciful and dark, I'm loving how my choices have to include both right and wrong decisions to move forward. This has to be one of my favourite mobile games ever, I highly recommend. Politics is a filthy game and being a soulless dictator in a nuclear wasteland is definitely a neat way to spend time.

A clone of the excellent 'Reigns', albzit with an exciting new setting. The microtransactions are a pisstake though: instead of using the trzditionzl system of a currency that's either slowly accrued through gameplay or can be bought outright, and used to by aids and bonuses are sould directly for real money, each item being upward of a pound/euro. the game is punishingly difficult, seems that it's nil impossible to get anywhere without those aids. if it weren't for that, I'd have given 5🌟
