Is the next member of Congress a werewolf? Can you survive a lycanthrope's bite? There's no silver bullet for winning an election! "Congresswolf" is an interactive novel by Ellen Cooper, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—140,000 words, without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. "Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner." — James Bovard When a werewolf murders your boss, you must step up to run a Congressional campaign all on your own. While werewolves, protestors, and worse—the media—lurk around every corner, you'll use everything you can to get your candidate elected. Email servers? Tax returns? Who cares. Election-season secrets and October surprises are nothing compared to the possibility that your candidate might be a werewolf...or that you might become one yourself. • Play as any gender, play as gay or straight • Set the right tone with your TV ads • Prep your candidate for debates • Impress big donors • Get out the vote • Find out who killed your predecessor • Decide where your candidate will stand on werewolf rights

What aliens have said about the game: -“ 'u' mIpna' ghaH! ” What humans have said about the game: -“Really fun and unique. I can’t wait until Yush comes out with the next installment! I loved that he was available to help via the chat inside the game itself. I would happily pay $5-10 for this game to support this developer." - Ecokate -“I enjoyed this game a lot, and kudos to the developer for being open and easily reachable if you get truly stuck. I got stuck a couple times in the final level and he gave me a couple extra hints without just spelling out the answer. The game is full of fun ways of using your phone’s functionality and translating codes and such. I got stuck primarily because I had no idea a certain function on the phone existed. So if anything it helped me learn about some things about my own device too LOL." - BigJerBear ~Created with love from a small developer (not height wise) :)
