If the current US election is getting you down, we’ve got just the game for you. Political Animals is a turn-based political strategy game set in a world populated by corrupt crocodiles and meritocratic mice.

Decide whether to be a clean or corrupt candidate as you pick from a selection of unique staff to plot your personal strategy to victory.  Events will be thrown your way that force you to choose between the high road or to bow to political pragmatism.  In a political contest where graft and bribery is always around the corner, we want players to find out how incorruptible they really are.

Features

• A short but deep turn-based strategy game that you can play in 1-2 hours campaigns
• Eight beautifully designed maps based on countries around the world
• Numerous animal candidates to choose from and customize
• Eight different staff types with special abilities to suit your campaign style
• Political Events that draw inspiration from world politics

Political Animals was received favorably by players at PAX (as part of the Indie Megabooth), EGX, BICFest and TGS and we’re excited to finally share it with players worldwide!  Political Animals is being published by Positech Games and is coming out on Steam/Gog and other digital distribution outlets on November 2, 2016, just in time for the elections!
