About the Game

Ruling Horsestown a choice-based comedy game where you must survive laugh and manage a chaotic city in constant change!

Be the first horse mayor in history!

Welcome to Horsestown, a chaotic city. Survive your 4 year term while dealing with ridiculous and impossible situations.

Experience drastic changes in your city, govern a future bought out by aliens, or travel back in time and rule a medieval kingdom, all within the same term in office.

With each new turn, new problems land on your desk: political alliances, demands from the people, alien threats, freaky wizards and… buff horses? Your decisions will have consequences, keep an eye on your Popularity, Security, and of course, your Corrupt Money, as well as any other stats you find along the way in the Medieval and Aline city.

  • Make questionable choices

  • See the consequences across the city

  • Manage your stats as best you can

  • Experience new ways of management in each thematic city!

  • Steal money!

  • Got abducted or something worse? Try again!

Get ready to face the unexpected: climate chaos, alien horse attacks, profit opportunities, and situations that defy all logic. In a city where anything can happen, it’s up to you to try to keep order… or at least stall long enough to get out.

Every year the theme shifts as you unlock new ones through your choices. Strike a deal with the aliens and trigger the Year of the Aliens, or make a deal with a wizard and go to the Medieval City! Each one comes with its own challenges, as well as unique items and statuses.

You will encounter them in different orders in each run, and get ready to see new and unfamiliar faces!

These are the cities you may encounter during your term!

  • Common City

  • Medieval City

  • Alien City
