Have you always thought while reading the news: "How hard can governing actually be?" WELCOME TO DEMAGOGUE The satirical political simulator and roguelike strategy game. From a political nobody to the german Chancellor's office: start your own party, forge fragile coalitions, negotiate ministries, and pass laws. Whether you govern idealistically, pragmatically, populistically, or completely immune to advice is up to you. YOUR TASKS: • Build a party: Choose a name and color, and fight your way through elections. • Negotiate coalitions: Secure majorities, even when it hurts. • Pass laws: From a "butter knife ban" to tax reform. You dictate policy. • Manage crises: React to absurd events (what to do with a stranded whale?) and keep an eye on the Kebab Price Index. • Cut deals: Navigate between lobbying, corruption, and state finances. • Juggle your private life: Answer chat messages. Negotiate the particular political interests of your family and best friend, which directly influence your decisions. FOUR GAME MODES: • Campaign: The guided intro with a story. (Free to play) • Free Play: Govern for as long as possible and test how stable your political era really is. • Sandbox: Freely customize starting conditions, parties, and rules to simulate custom scenarios. • Duel: Challenge your friends. Everyone creates their own party, and whoever stays in power longer wins. Politics is rarely rosy. Most of the time, it's frustrating, messy, and full of compromises. Experience the dirty reality of holding power firsthand. How long will you stay in power? Will you hold on to your values - or will you use the tempting tools of populism?

Your high-rise. A thousand little moments. Build flats, offices and favourite places, then watch your tower come to life. People commute to work, wait for lifts, meet at the café and come home. Your planning determines how well their journeys fit together. BUILD DIRECTLY IN YOUR TOWER Grow up to the 100th floor. Choose a room miniature, move the plan, drag its width and confirm construction. Flats, offices, cafés, shops, restaurants, hotels and cinemas make every floor different. Stairs, escalators, local lifts, express and service cars connect the building. Plan multiple cars per shaft and sky lobbies for transfers. MEET YOUR PEOPLE Tap residents, guests or workers, read their thoughts and follow their actual journeys. Name residents and keep track of favourite people. Watch moving days, coffee breaks, reading, plant care and familiar faces. Hotel guests arrive, dine, sleep and check out; their rooms are cleaned afterwards. ROOMS WITH A STORY Combine flat layouts, included interiors and little objects. Try actual visual previews. Mix owned collections room by room; scenery, façade, roof and clothing are independent choices. Stories grow alongside your residents: decisions, real meetings and time together leave lasting keepsakes. LITTLE STORIES, BIG VIEWS Arrange neighbourhood gatherings, restaurant openings and cinema premieres. Hana’s moving-in chapter and the suitcase story at reception are completely free. Photograph your tower without menus or share a short silent camera journey as a video. EASY TO START, PLENTY TO BUILD The new home screen offers Continue, New tower, saved towers, worlds and settings. A voiced introduction and skippable tutorial explain the first steps. Four illustrated main actions keep play within reach. Zoom into the cutaway or out to the surroundings, pause or speed up to 16×. Three named local save slots make room for different towers. No game time passes in the background or on the home screen. LISTEN TO YOUR BUILDING Four included radio stations bring jazz and bossa, lo-fi and hip-hop, synth and electro, and funk and soul. Change station or track, or just hear the tower: lifts, footsteps, cups and room sounds. Music, ambience and effects have separate controls. Haptics can be switched off independently. OPTIONAL EXPANSIONS Little Tokyo adds 16 original room compositions, a reception, city scenery, architecture and clothing, two original music tracks and matching sounds. Eight resident stories explore settling in and shared interests. Hana’s chapter is free; seven more are included in the pack. Riviera Stories adds a Mediterranean promenade, twelve interiors, eight wardrobe ensembles, six guest stories including the free suitcase chapter, music and effects. All Riviera interiors can be explored free in a separate sample hotel. Cozy City Living, City After Dark, Botanical Living and the rooftop pack offer more design choices. Every pack is a separate one-time purchase without a subscription. Apple displays the current price. Packs do not improve income, capacity or construction power. Purchase and Apply are separate actions; purchases can be restored. GOOD TO KNOW German and English, including introduction voices. No developer account required. Saves, settings and your album remain on your device; no cross-device save synchronisation. Purchases and restoration require a connection to Apple. Music, voices and selected graphics were produced with AI tools. Developed by Newways Studios · Marco Lohmann.
