About Political Animals
Political Animals is an election simulation game set within a world populated by corrupt crocodiles and meritocratic mice. In a political contest where corruption is always around the corner, find out just how incorruptible you really are. Do you have the integrity of Mousey or the ruthlessness of Croccy? Will you fight your campaign on issues and in the best interests of the people, or will you succumb to the easier path of bribery and intimidation? Will you win votes...or will you buy them? 
Each turn you spend logistics to move your candidate and their staff around the political landscape to whip up popular support. Your choice of staff affects your strategy! A lawyer can settle your scandals, but a preacher can energize the population. Raise funds from the wealthy, give gifts to political patrons, or hold rallies to build grass-roots support from the electorate. Along the way, expect to encounter scandals both real and fabricated as well as random events that test your moral mettle.
This new turn-based strategy game is developed by Philippines-based studio Squeaky Wheel and published by Democracy-3 developers Positech Games. Political Animals features a large and continuously increasing set of playable characters, eight different maps and and infinite strategies you can employ to win over the population, district by district.- A bite-sized yet deep turn-based strategy game that you can play in 1-2 hour campaigns
- Eight beautifully designed maps based on countries around the world
- Numerous animal candidates to choose from and customize
- Eight different staff types with special abilities to suit your campaign style
- Political Events that draw inspiration from world politics

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Menus were mixed up with different languages and every bit of text in the game said "Not found". Tried to sort it out for a couple of hours and could not. Verified game files, reinstalled... looked around on the internet for a long time to try to rectify this. Seems completely broken. Waste of time.4 found this helpful
So, I was going to boot this game to do one of my stream-to-completion marathons I do with friends. Unfortunately, this game is literally unplayable in its current state. Every single thing in this game is "not found: <thing> description for en-us". I will update this as soon as I find a fix or the developer patches this issue.3 found this helpful

Political Animals, developed by Squeaky Wheel and published by Positech Games, offers a unique blend of turn-based strategy and political satire set in a vibrant world populated entirely by anthropomorphic animals. The game places you in the role of a candidate in a fiercely competitive election, where every decision—from public speeches to backroom deals—shapes your path to power. What sets Political Animals apart is its ability to distill the chaotic and often morally ambiguous world of politics into an approachable, bite-sized strategy experience, combining charm with a surprisingly sharp critique of political tactics and campaign dynamics. At its core, the gameplay revolves around managing your campaign through a series of turn-based actions on a hexagonal board representing the political landscape. Players must carefully allocate limited resources—such as campaign funds, staff, and political capital—while making choices that influence voter opinion and media coverage. Whether you’re delivering speeches to rally supporters, negotiating with lobbyists, or strategically deploying your campaign team to key regions, each move demands foresight and adaptability. The game introduces…
