In a somewhat satirical way, the game emulates some of the unexpected things a candidate might have to deal with -- natural disasters, national tragedies, economic crises -- and immerses the player right in the middle of the insanity to see whether or not they can out talk, outsmart, and out spend their opponent.”Get into Early Access now OR share the fun with a friend and buy the 2-pack!
