Bramblewood needs a governor. Will it be you? Pawlitics is a cozy, cartoon politics sim. Pick a governor, set the policies, and watch a town full of animals react: bears in hard hats, chickens in bow ties, mice who live in shoeboxes and say it's nice, actually. EVERY CHOICE HAS A TRADE-OFF Forty-eight policies, from income tax and highways to a carbon tax, basic income and a honey tax. Every one pleases somebody and annoys somebody else. Cut a tax and the budget has to balance somewhere. Build an airport and the economy grows, but the environmentalists won't forget. Borrow and the interest piles up as your credit rating slips. Let a voter group stew too long and they'll petition to recall you. When a crisis hits, from a crime wave to a cost of living crunch, emergency powers unlock. And don't get comfortable: happy voters start to take you for granted, and U-turns make everyone cynical. GET IT PAST THE COUNCIL Big bills go to a vote. Four parties, from Granny Maple's Hearth Party to Mr. Sterling's Commerce Club, back their voters and watch your poll numbers. Fall short and you get one move: amend the bill, trade a favor (they will call it in), or lean on a party. And sometimes the council passes a bill of its own and dares you to veto it. Come election time, Percival the peacock runs against you on your weakest record. A TOWN THAT TALKS BACK Townsfolk wander the streets with mood bubbles over their heads. Shady characters in trench coats lurk in the bushes when crime rises. Litter piles up, coins stack up, seasons turn. Open the Plan to see exactly how everything connects. STORIES THAT REMEMBER Between quarters, decisions land on your desk. A pigeon reporter wants answers. Your rival, a very confident peacock, wants your job. The bears want a honey subsidy, and bears have long memories. Choices come back as follow-ups, and every game ends with an epilogue built from what you did. SEVEN SCENARIOS Start in sleepy Sleepy Hollow, then take on Rust Town after the mill closes, a Boomtown where rents are through the roof, a state that's flat broke, a polluted Beach Resort, a Crime Capital, and The Comeback: eight quarters to win back a town that's given up on you. Earn up to three stars in each, and spend them on Sandbox challenges for a bigger Legacy Score. PROMISES TO KEEP Every Sandbox term opens with the voters' mandates: get crime down, save for a rainy day, grow the town. Keep them for political capital. Win re-election and pick a perk for your second term: Seasoned, Spin Doctor, Council Veteran and more. TEN GOVERNORS A commanding lion, a builder beaver, a street-smart raccoon, a scholarly owl and more. Each has a trait that changes how the game plays. HOW WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED? Every game ends on a report card: grades, an approval chart, a legacy title and what happened next. Some titles are hard to earn. Some are hard to live down. • Play your first term free, plus the tutorial scenario and four governors • One purchase unlocks everything: second terms, all scenarios, all governors • No ads, no timers, no accounts, no data collected • Made for iPhone and iPad, including the foldable iPhone
