The gameplay is primarily centered around navigating a website and making choices that influence a character's performance in an election, with limited interactive mechanics such as voting buttons. While some players find the experience lacking in traditional gameplay elements, the social aspect of engaging with the community is emphasized as a significant part of the experience. Overall, the gameplay is described as minimalistic and more focused on the broader context rather than intricate mechanics.
- “Its definitely larger than the game mechanics alone so it's highly recommended you join the discords and communicate with fellow politicians.”
- “As another reviewer said, the game is larger than its mechanics alone, which is an odd way of saying there isn't much of an actual game here and in my opinion really pushes the definition of game, at least the definitions that aren't terribly abstracted to the point of near meaninglessness.”
- “Gameplay consists of navigating a website and selecting various actions that affect your character's performance within an election, their reputation at various levels, and how they generate personal and campaign wealth.”
- “I can only speak to the positional gameplay of playing a legislator, but the only gameplay to be found there was clicking buttons corresponding to positive vote, negative vote, or neutral vote.”
