A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

I'm interested in how players shape the games they interact with and how stories become more and more attuned to their readers. This Twine game attempts to address both these questions by placing you at the helm of an unknown, untested, potentially unreliable virtual assistant who really wants to win an election for you--often asking for your input along the way. The challenge of controlling a narrative that is fictional even within the world of a story to manipulate a presidential candidate hopefully heightens your awareness of the effects of your choices on how a tale is told.

There is some light satirizing/venting about political process and media influence. Any resemblance to real life is only meant to be in the broadest possible sense.

Install instructions

The game is played by launching the HTML file in a non-Safari browser. I would advise not using Twine's forward/back arrows! If things get messy, you may have to restart the game. Slightly more detailed info is included in the readme file!
