❤ Gameplay Mechanics

Players compete to win the presidential election through a turn-based strategy system. Each week, candidates travel across states, conduct interviews, purchase targeted advertisements, and develop nuanced political platforms. The game transforms complex political maneuvering into an engaging, accessible experience.

❤ Candidate Customization

The creation system allows deep personalization: design unique characters with granular attribute sliders, assign precise stats like 5-point stamina or 3-point charisma ratings, craft intricate ideology trees with branching political pathways, and select hyper-specific policy positions like 'Universal Basic Income' or 'Border Wall Expansion'.

❤ Strategic Campaign Management

Success demands tactical decision-making: micromanage campaign budgets down to individual state investments, pinpoint swing state vulnerabilities, craft surgical advertisement campaigns, and recruit specialized campaign operatives with unique skill sets.

❤ Innovative Ideology Mechanism

Players earn and strategically deploy ideology points by participating in Town Hall events, targeting state-specific voter sentiment, purchasing niche political issues, and balancing ideological consistency with electoral pragmatism.

❤ Replayability Dynamics

Engagement stems from 30+ preset political figures, infinite custom character combinations, absurd scenario generation (running as a Giant Meteor), extensive Steam Workshop modifications, and multiple difficulty settings.

❤ Humor and Simulation

The experience blends political depth with satirical elements, allowing players to craft deliberately ridiculous campaign strategies, experience witty, procedurally generated interview scenarios, and explore political dynamics through a comedic lens.

❤ Conclusion

This electoral simulator offers a sophisticated yet accessible strategy experience, transforming complex political dynamics into an entertaining interactive narrative.
