Number 10: Prime Minister Sim

You are the newly installed Prime Minister of a country that is not any real country. Every month a document lands in the ministerial red box describing a situation that has already gone wrong. You have seconds to choose one of two responses. Four meters move in reply: Cabinet, Backbenchers, Press, Public. Let any of them reach zero and you are removed. Let one adore you too much for too long and you will find that is also a way to lose. Survive four years and you face a general election, at which point somebody else decides. There is no right answer. Every response costs something, to somebody, and the brief will not tell you which. Your portrait joins a corridor of predecessors, each with a name, a number of months, and a cause of departure. - Around 130 hand-written crises in the register of a civil service briefing note that has lost control of events but not its grammar - Five multi-part storylines: a public inquiry, an ambitious deputy, a reservoir, a leaked memorandum, and a resignation honours list - A daily box — the same four crises for every player, one attempt, no retries - Pick your likeness from a rogues' gallery of profiles; it follows you to the corridor - A run takes three to six minutes - Plays entirely offline - Vote of no confidence, cabinet reshuffle, by-election, boundary review, select committee, statutory instrument. A political simulator for people who read the footnotes. One optional purchase doubles the time on every question, adds impact previews so you can see which factions each answer moves before you commit, grants six further likenesses, and removes advertisements. It is a single payment. There is no subscription and nothing is consumable. All parties, politicians, departments, newspapers and events in this game are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, parties or events is not intended.
