Players take on the role of the US President in the political game I Am Your President.
Ultimate Games will release I Am Your President on May 8th. The simulator from independent developer President Studio was initially released for PC in 2023.
Ultimate Games is responsible for the development and publication of the Xbox One version. Thanks to backwards compatibility, the title also works on the Xbox Series X|S.
As the developers explain, I Am Your President is a unique political survival game based on the mechanics of a narrative strategy game. The player begins as the newly elected President of the United States and must fight for political survival and enough public support to have a chance at a second term.
The game examines the peculiarities of big politics. As the new US President, the player speaks to people, makes political decisions, takes part in press conferences and conducts foreign policy, among other things. In his free time, the player also manages the president’s social media channels and prepares speeches.
In I Am Your President there is a special political compass that shows where the player’s decisions fit on the ideological map.
In practice the player can e.g. For example, you can pursue policies that move around the mythical middle or are closer to the Democratic or Republican lines, but you can just as easily rely on radical ideological lines from the right or left.
A similar freedom also applies to foreign and defense policy. A player can be isolationist or, on the contrary, pursue an active or even offensive policy.
The game is also full of random events, so everyone’s approach to the game can be a little different. The developers also decided to make some references to real people, political events or conspiracy theories. Importantly, there are also satirical and humorous elements in I Am Your President.
