    A satirical take on the state of current politics...

    [​IMG]

    Head of State is for everyone worried about the fate of liberal democracy. Everyone worried about the rise of demagogues and post-fact politics. Everyone who wants to live out their darkest fantasies of political domination...

    It’s time to make Concordia great again

    As the leader of a minor political party you must plot your course from political nobody to Head of State. Take a stand, pick your policies and form your own ideology. Respond to surprise events and tie your fate to key power brokers: the Police, the Church and anyone else with influence.

    Pandering to the masses isn’t easy, but if you can’t keep them happy then you can always keep them in line. You'll need to play by the rules to start with, but as your momentum builds, you’ll find all sorts of things are expendable. There's only one person fit to rule this nation: YOU. And you're going to rule for a long, long time...



    I've been thinking about this game for 4-5 years and making it with two amazing former colleagues for the past 7 months. Very happy to be able to share it with you now that it's getting close to launch.

    Let me know if you have any questions, and if you're *really* keen let me know - I've got 5 iOS (and 5 Android) promo codes to give away ;-)

    (When it comes out the game will be premium, no ads, no in-app purchases)

    This looks bloody amazing... I can't wait to the 8th to see this launch. If it's half as good as it sounds I'll have to pick it up on both platforms.

    Gotta say the comparison to "Reigns" drew me in.. But I'm interested in the more modern political take as it makes it more capable of some good political commentary. Looking forward to the release, and I dig the art on that pig

    Just started playing (thanks Devs for the code!)
    Really awesome concept. Great timing with the election coming up.
    I'm really enjoying the different choices and how they play into how you're favored.

    Quick question, is there a way to pause in the middle screen? I'd love to pause it, check all numbers, read each regions bio and not have to
    Worry about losing time.

    This is just about 20 minutes into it, I'll post more as I play!

    If you have any codes left I would love to give it a go and post some honest feedback!
     
  16. @RickLau @ Stephan 0711 I'll PM you about promo codes. After that I'm all out of iOS, but still have some Android ones if that is of interest

    @turakam glad you're enjoying it so far. There's not a deliberate way to pause the game whilst still looking at the map unfortunately (oops), but there are a couple of workarounds ;-)
    - if you swipe the screen very slightly (a couple of pixels either way) then the game will pause and you'll be able to read everything
    - if you tap and hold on a region's policies then you get a tooltip about where to find them and what they are, and again the game is paused whilst the tooltip is showing

    I would love to try this game out if you have any codes. I will leave an honest review once it goes live on the IOS store. :)

    Android works too
