I loved some of the dialogue on your game. Also fun + different than most LD games.

Loved it! Reminded me of Castles cutscenes, where people came to your throne room to ask stuff :)

I like this simulation/tycoon gameplay, the UI is cristal cleary so I could play it very smoothly! Good job! Graphics cold be more consistent with the UI I think.

This was fun. Apparently the economy isn't very important to me...

very good for a first effort. The core gameplay is solid, although the UI and the visuals are a little bit offputting. Keep working at it, and you'll pick up on the tricks of the trade in no time.

Very fun and original. Loved the artwork. Too bad there wasn't some good tropico music :)

Music would have been something I would have liked to add, but no time. Sorry!

Thanks for letting me know Dropbox was down for my game! I don't know why -- I can login, just not access links to my files.

I didn't rate your game yet -- the call button went away on day 4-5. Is that supposed to happen? I can't seem to continue.

I tried again, and I think "Economy" may actually be bugged. Even if you choose the positive economic option in nearly every question, it jumps to Dreadful and stays there no matter what. I started at "Decent", and with maybe two - and 3 + it was immediately at "Dreadful".

Président was killed by mafia while making a coffee...
Funny :] i'll try the hard way next time, it seems to have a great amounts of decision to take ! let see what it changes :)
Maybe you you upload a link instead of a zip file for a html game ?
Cheers !

@GAFBlizzard Random events (located in the bottom right) may have made an impact on your Economy. And yeah the call button is supposed to go away after a while.

I think better to find solution how to place stats in UI to see them all time.

Fun dialogue, sometimes the outcomes of your decisions weren't really clear.

Really liked this actually. May have been nice to be able to see the stats all the time though. Really liked that this as something different!

Day 4, I'm at war and the call button is gone?
Liked it, good job!

Weighing the options before making each call was a pretty great time. I would have liked to see some audio mixed in, though.

Interesting and unique. The interface layout needs work. Eventually I found myself stranded with no more calls to make.

it is a intersting game. Bad graphics and interface, but is a good text game
