President's Secretary by James Leib

made by James Leib for Ludum Dare 54 (COMPO)

You play as the President's executive secretary. Decide what the President does every day of the week. Be careful though, there's only a limited amount of space on the schedule, and every option, whether its taken or not can have an impact. Try make it to the end of the week without getting fired and make sure the country doesn't collapse.

The idea is amazing, this is something that fits the theme great and a lot of people will relate to.
What I especially liked is the causal relationships of events and that time of the day matters.
One suggestion to the current version is to be able to put an event at any time of day (on Sunday I was left with only one event. It should happen at evening to proceed and as it was the only event, I could only put it at morning)
A suggestion for an expansion could be to add the indicators of current situation of external affairs / popularity etc to be seen before the game over screen

Neat idea. It seems like playing a bit blind with the events, but I enjoyed experimenting. Some queues on what to look for would be helpful.
