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.

a bit too repetitive in my taste. Though the game was fun, I really loved the story and the idea behind the game, You could make a movie or a TV series from it. my only 2 problems are 1 that when I press on "No" for not activating the spacial cards, it still activates them. and the 2 is that I managed to keep playing more than 4 years and didn't get a single achievement on Google Play, even though the account is connected.

First and foremost, this is a great leader simulation game with some surprising twists. The scenarios are quite realistic and the game overall is reasonably forgiving, unlike the sequel. My only gripe (and the reason it's 4 stars) is that it is incredibly easy to get the best ending on the first playthrough, and although you can play something akin to a new game+, there really is no point due to the repetitive scenarios and the ability only to get the bad endings. This problem isn't too bad, tho

Absolutely incredible execution of such an intricate plot. It's amazing how enraptured I was with the progression despite (or perhaps because of?) the simple gameplay, and even the ads are well-inserted, to an extent. The creator's self insert in the tea time event is always interesting to see, and the ads on the year change only marginally affect the gameplay loop. It's a must play.
