About this game
Welcome to the Oval Office. Settle in, put your feet on the desk, and get ready to ruin the country... or save it by accident.
In this satirical political simulator, competence is optional, but chaos is guaranteed. You have the power, the pen, and above all, the Big Red Button. What could possibly go wrong?
On your agenda:
Extreme Legislator: Sign, stamp, or bin totally wacky decrees. Legalize socks with sandals? Why not. Consequences are a problem for later.
Crisis Management by Guesswork: You don't need to actually understand an issue to manage it.
Double-Speak 2.0: Shine during press conferences. When a journalist asks "Why?", answer with an inspiring speech that means absolutely nothing.
Total Tactile Immersion: It's your office. Throw decrees, shove your advisors. You are the President, nobody’s going to stop you.
The Red Button: It’s there. It’s glowing. It’s tempting. Press it. Go on. Just to see what happens.
From Ruins to Glory: Cracked walls, cobwebs, planks on the windows... your predecessor left quite a mess. Clean it up and restore the Oval Office to its former glory. You've earned it.
Cabinet of "Yes-Men": Recruit advisors who will execute your most absurd decisions. They are here to serve, not to think.
Political Roulette: Watch your actions succeed (or fail miserably). Politics is just like a casino, after all.
The Art of Balance (or lack thereof): Going all-in on the military won't save you when the economy collapses. Try to juggle, or face the consequences.
Gotcha Interviews: Journalists have memories like elephants. They will grill you on your past actions: let's hope you remember what you signed this morning, because you'll have to justify it live.
The Power Meter: Gain popularity to unlock more power. The more the people love you, the more you can get away with... without (too many) consequences.
