Republic Reborn

Campaign for Mayor of Hargrove, a small city with a lot of people willing to help you win in exchange for something. The game frames itself as a political-career sim, but the actual work is favors, leverage, and bedroom diplomacy rather than policy.

The setup is straightforward: you want the office, and you build a path to it through a cast of characters who each want something from you in return, or want to take something from you first. Enemies come with the territory, and the game seems fine with you making a few.

Play is text and image driven, tracking your choices as you campaign, flirt, pressure, or get pressured across a growing roster of encounters. This is the initial release covering the first week, so the mayoral race, and everything that comes with it, is just getting started.
