The night Cross lost the presidency, someone sealed a ballot box weeks before anyone voted. He left you a letter with six names, and a key. Now you are the candidate.
Your father's election was stolen. One year later, it's your turn to run.
The night Thomas Cross lost the presidency, someone sealed a ballot box weeks before anyone voted. He left you a letter with six names, and a small brass key. Now you are the candidate.
RUN FOR OFFICE
Start with your father's old council seat. Win the city. Take the party's nomination. Face the President on a national debate stage. Every office you win opens new doors, and new enemies.
EVERY CHOICE IS REMEMBERED
Shake a rival's hand or snub him on camera. Take the billionaire's money or tear up his check. Let the fixer "find" a box of ballots at 2 a.m., or let the count stand. The story answers what you did, episode after episode.
PLAY THE BIG MOMENTS
• Face the press and watch your approval rise and fall with every answer
• Watch election night unfold live, county by county
• Count the ballots yourself, and decide what to do with a box that should not exist
• Send crews across a flooded city with the cameras watching
• Win the delegates at the convention
BUILD YOUR CAMPAIGN
Hire a campaign manager, a press secretary, a fixer and a chief of staff. Furnish your first office. Grow an empire of businesses that funds the run. Dress for every moment, from the announcement to the inauguration.
FOUR ENDINGS
The Reformer. The Strongman. The Puppet. The Exile. Which president will you become, and what will it cost?
• 15 episodes of political drama
• Rivals, allies, betrayal and romance
• A season of choices that change the ending
Free to play. Optional in-app purchases and an optional Inner Circle subscription (weekly or yearly) are available; you can play every episode without paying. Everything in this story is fiction.
