AI generated text everywhere, same sentence could have been 50% shorter
I'm Ok with vibe coded apps, this app is very vibe coded (or designed like one), even uses the same fonts and yellowish tint as Claude. That I can stand; my main gripe though is the text is so obviously AI generated it is so hard to read! You have to really read the sentences because they kind of make sense but don't - it is just off-putting. You know how you feel when reading a document with lengthy text that could have said the same thing with 50% less words

My political career
3 years 5 months in my first stint! Objective to pass 5 years and then 11 and then onto the UN. Update: Unfortunately the game is somewhat repetitive, with rather silly scenarios. Still rotating playing

Good idea but a bit boring
Great concept, but gets quite repetitive quickly. There needs to be more features and functionality over and above answering a set of multiple choice questions. It’s even more disappointing considering you pay for what in effect is a functionally simple game. Needs more work!!!
Good effort
This a game that has made me laugh out loud at times. That in itself has made the purchase worth it, hope others support the developer too. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive, still, a lovely honest little game with a decent script. Well done, and good luck on future projects.
Great game with plenty of promise
Fun game to keep you occupied. Buying the special advisor pack does make it 100 times easier - for better or for worse. Maybe it’s slightly overpowered. Looking forward to seeing what else this game brings
One note
Satire is a very optimistic description for this - can’t imagine Armando Iannucci is quaking in his boots. The ‘humour’ is very tedious and quickly wears thin. Aside from that, very repetitive for the cost, and there really isn’t much replayability because of how arbitrary every option is.
Such a great unique game
I absolutely love this game as somebody who, loves and has interest in British politics, but also sees the funny side, traditions and to understand that sometimes you shouldn’t take it too seriously.
Even though the game is repetitive it almost seems like it’s not. It’s so realistic but yet so funny and ridiculous at the same time.
I know dev takes time but, I would love to see things like:
A list of the cabinet and individual info of those in top positions, their influence and public perception. Ability to reshuffle yourself.
Be able to have more influence of groups by holding events.
I’m sure you have your own ideas. Thanks for creating a great game and keep up the good work!

Very good but…
The sacking / no confidence vote isn’t great. I had 99% cabinet approval, but then “Fell to Cabinet”? How am I supposed to avoid falling to Cabinet when I have full approval?
The mechanics should let you succeed if you’re doing well, not force a sacking.
Edit: Added another star as they’ve fixed the bug

Hello! I am updating this bug as it should not be happening. There is an update out very soon!
Not really a game
Feels very tedious, it doesn’t seem to make any difference how well you “play” as it’s determined on a trajectory/script so what you do in the game doesn’t really matter, you’re essentially just clicking through the Burnham/Starmer scenario from Kier’s pov. No matter how high your ratings are, this doesn’t seem to factor or impact on the game at all. For instance all my ratings were above 70% and my cabinet rating was over 90% but my character was still brought down by the cabinet. So it all felt a bit naff.

Game mechanics off
It’s an interesting game, not quite working though. For example had really good stats on all categories and suddenly got overthrown either meaning you can’t actually affect what’s happening or it’s not that well thought out
Promising, but….
Ousted with pretty much full support across the Board. Just seems like a pre meditated ending which ignores what you’ve already done. Queen of the Humber angle strange. I’d set her up to be responsive and accountable for something but instead there was a random vote against me with no lead in. Weird with full support. Would be much better if it reflected your support and understood your tactics.

Glitch!
Okay, obvious mistake in the system. If your cabinet confidence is super low, but your backbenchers is 100%, as is your press confidence and your public confidence, why on earth would you lose the leadership challenge? You have full back benchers support, the media backing and most MPs go with the public consensus in leadership votes. So, you clearly need to alter the coding so you keep the job and just replace the cabinet. Badly worked app.

So Glad This Exists
Brilliant game. I’ve always wanted to play something like this, and am glad this had been actualised. I love the satirical elements, they are so quintessentially British. I’m half expecting Alan Partridge to make an appearance as a bumbling MP complaining about the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre.

AI text + confusing gameplay logic
Aside from the text feeling incredibly AI written, the logic of some of the events is ridiculous. For example, if your public support is over 90% you still get an event saying your polling is awful. Make it make sense.
The events are also circular and repetitive. Not really worth your time or money

Hi there, all scenarios and designs are hand-made. However that public support and polling clash scenario sounds like a bug, I will look into fixing this for the next release!
Enjoyable and highly topical
Very amusing with some resonance with Douglas Adams’s style, and all over the recent history of UK politics from Covid to Burnham. Worth the money and I hope that as political events unfold the game incorporates the latest gaffs.
Great concept, but sadly everything is written by LLMs.
Great concept, but I stopped playing after I’m realizing that an LLM is generating everything. I think AI has a place in games, but it’s just really hard to stomach reading LLMs generating all this text. I think maybe more effort could be done to curate and land it to feel a little more human like? Not an AI-bashing review, just hard to justify it with a price tag.

Hi there, there is actually no LLM in the app, and all crises and designs were hand-made! Sorry you did not enjoy the game, we will be updating it regularly!
Fun but lacking substance
Fun for a while but quickly shows its limitations, could do with some sort of budget mechanic - still well worth the price tag if you like political satire
Response from developer
Hi there thank you for the review! We are adding a lot more in-depth features very soon such as this! Keep an eye out for its soon fellow PM
Great game but I have a suggestion
I found this game really entertaining, but I was slightly disappointed there wasn’t a feature to call a snap election. I hope they find a way to incorporate snap elections one day!

This game is great but has alot of potential. i think there should be a option for a snap general election and put decisions in for the election. make it more fun!
