About the Game

A short yet variable visual novel. You are the imprisoned dictator. People of your country come visit. Survive as long as you can.

- From the testimonies of your visitors, discover the pillars of dictatorship.

- Explore how different layers of society suffer from authoritarianism and kleptocracy.

- Try wiggling out of these unpleasant accusations - however, with your bad personality you don't have a lot of good options...

Read the dialogues and try to be polite with these peasants. Fail miserably. Get punched.

Among the many dialogue routes, seek for an opportunity to pretend humane. Your goal is to accumulate the least damage possible.

How to play

You meet a row of visitors, each of them angry at you in a different way. They talk to you and you are presented with answer options, up to 3, to try and soothe them. A full dialogue with one visitor is typically ranged from 3 to 6 exchanges - depending on your answers, the length and the outcome would be different, so each character has 2-4 dialogue outcomes, and some variability in-between.

You might want to drag your talking longer and get under your visitor's skin, but beware - during some answers they will also be hitting you! When your HP hits 0, it's game over.

You have a break before Day 2 where you can recover some HP by answering a quiz about your Day 1 visitors' claims.

It gets a little harder from there. Some visitors from Day 2 can only be accessed if you discover a secret within a certain character's dialogue routes.
