See if you have what it takes to become a dictator in our demo! Alpha 0.2.0 with 4 brand new stages, random events, a chapter boss, and followers.
Random Events
Life as a dictator is not easy, especially when your party still thinks they can make decisions on their own. Random Events allow you to chose which path you want to take. Every choice comes with its own consequences, some of which only unfold later in your run.
(If you rather just chose purely based on game mechanics, don't worry - The results of every decision are always clearly visible, and you can safely skip all dialogue.)
Followers
The game allows you to gain Followers - people of usually questionable morals which confer bonuses to you during every stage. One one hand, this allows you to tailor your run more to your liking. On the other hand, these people often come with baggage which may have negative consequences for you in the future.
