Need more updates

This game has a lot of potential to be a great political simulation game. It just need to add more realistic items like votes, budget allocation, cabinet selection, military affiliations. Overall I think Thai game will be great. Just let me know when the updates happen

Full Game Purchase not working?

I bought the full game for however much but it still doesn’t let me select or play anymore options that are given. Especially the “War Cabinet”.

I bought the full game...

I paid, I pressed restore purchases. Nothing happened. I can't change the theme of the app to dark mode. I also don't have the Wartime DLC unlocked...even though I bought the full game. Buyer beware, potential quick exit scam disguised as what's supposed to be a simplistic political simulator mobile game.

You also can't read most of the choices in full because the choices are too long for the 3 boxes. You're just forced to suffer with drastic drops in a certain statistic in your presidency as a result.

Overall 2 stars as of right now, not changing my rating anytime soon unless things improve. I paid for the full game, got an unfinished and probably abandoned project.

Response from developer

Thank you for supporting the game! This is not a scam! Please reach out via email at support@indiecraft.net so I can personally assist you with these issues. Screenshots and device details will be very helpful in addressing the choices not being fully visible.

2 minutes, then pay wall.

After the first 5 decisions, you have to pay to continue. 1 star.

Response from developer

Thank you for trying my game! The AppStore listing clearly shows that this is a paid game (available via in-app purchase) but offers the Prologue as a free preview. I think the review and rating are unfair given that we are upfront about this. Please consider updating your review as negative reviews like this really hurt the game.
