Dictator Simulator: Gradnar

Dictator Simulator: Gradnar puts you in power as Vyslan Gatskolka, dictator of the fictional Eastern European country of Gradnar. Your decisions shape the nation’s future: you can pursue democracy or autocracy, and make peace with neighboring countries or wage war to conquer them.

Rule Gradnar

You must keep the country’s economy, loyalty, control, party and army indicators above zero. If any reaches zero, a coup ends your reign. Foreign policy lets you form alliances, provoke enemies or go to war. Battles are card duels: supply your army, choose your strikes strategically and annex conquered lands after victory.

Wealth and corruption

You decide whether to reject bribes or give in to temptation. Your personal account can fund the people’s needs or luxuries for you and your family, including palaces, rare paintings and pedigreed horses. You can collect certificates of ownership for valuable items and store expensive treasures in your personal cabinet. After a hard day, you can play cards with Riban, though you may lose your fortune; if funds run low, corrupt schemes, bribes and kickbacks are available.

Choices and endings

Nonlinear dialogues unlock new scenarios, and your actions lead to one of multiple endings. Your choices can make you a great commander, a generous benefactor or a ruthless tyrant. The game presents Gradnar’s dystopian setting with satire and dark humor.
