Dictatorship Simulator

Dictatorship Simulator is a roguelike deckbuilder in which you manipulate a political simulation to bring down the government and become dictator. You play cards to change how the system works, such as reversing the direction of influence, spreading effects through the system or grinding it to a standstill. Every part of the political system interacts with the others, and your cards can change how those interactions work.

Choose your approach

Build a deck around changing reality or manipulating how people feel about it. For example, if you dislike how the media reports on the economy, you can build a perception deck and use blackmail to change its coverage.

Expand your deck

Random event choices, bosses and chapter progression unlock cards that give you more extreme tools for future attempts. Your deck can grow from a few basic cards to include troll farms, blackmail and coups. Across multiple chapters, you erode democracy until you are the only one left.

Gather followers

Random Events can let you gain followers, who provide persistent bonuses that enhance your deck. You need some followers, at least until you reach the top.
