Game is a blast for a political sim. Actually challenging depending on what kind of utopia you are aiming for. Reminded me of the first time I played “Democracy” but I actually found the political capital resource a bit more rewarding in this one. Other differences are more obvious, like the obvious leftist bent and the policy being more global then state focused.

Also it was free!

    Got pretty far, surprised that I got a “me and the environmentalists failed to make the world a better place” picture at the end, given I had negative emissions, an ecstatic populace, and a message about how biodiversity was healing or something and Parliament trusted me completely by the time I died. Time to replay! Would get distracted from my life responsibilities again with this game.

    spoiler speculations on why I got that picture

    Global temperature was still +1.2C or something, and I didn’t finish the space upgrades. Will be back on my replay to see why!

    EDIT: Okay, I got everyone ecstatic, global temperature +0.2C, negative emissions, biodiversity with two filled-in bars. Still could not finish space upgrades. Still gave me the “me and the environmentalists failed to make the world a better place” dialogue. I give up.

    I have been looking for something like this. Started it and like the manage aspect. I like the intent, and a huge plus playing in a browser, available to almost everybody. I feel like this is the kinda thing that could be used to gather enough information to actually do something

    Edit: alright it’s got depth and replayability. And a lot of words I’m going to need to look up

      I didnt know it was browser based too until I made this post actually. It runs great on my steam deck, but the mobile browser experience is pretty good

    Pretty fun! Damn ELF is tearing me up, I’m getting like 10 attacks per year. Why won’t people just chill and let their benevolent dictatrix help them ?

    Edit: ooh, metagame!

      The meta game project is super fun kind of Easter egg
