About the Game

Some people call it a democracy; you: an opportunity. Dictatorship Simulator is a turn-based deckbuilder, in which you play cards to influence a political simulation. Instead of directly attacking the government, you must instead manipulate the simulation to hurt them and slowly corrupt the country until there is nothing left but you.

Features

  • Choose your methods: Troll factory? Fake news? Divide and conquer? Choose your strategy, unlock cards and construct your deck.

  • Subvert the simulation: Who cares what the crime rate is? What matters is what it feels like. Influence both perception and reality by playing your cards, and the system will tear itself apart.

  • It's a perfectly fine country, but..: By winning levels you gain overworld bonuses, allowing you to slowly and methodically transform the nation into an extremist dystopia.

  • Face the consequences: Featuring an Alien Isolation inspired Director AI system, the government will not just sit idly by; it will hit you where it hurts.
