Congresswolf

I'm going to have to go with a thumbs down for this game. The story is written like it should've just been a short novel rather than a choose your own adventure because the author speaks for you and tells you how you feel in different scenarios 95% of the time. Your only real input being the Campaign manager simulation & romancing someone and even then the author is dictating your emotions and your stress levels. For instance as soon as I started to romance Abby, it immediately jumped from the sweet kindling fires of the budding relationship to [i] 'OMG you're a campaign manager, how can we ever make anything work with your work schedule! You hardly have time for me! Will we make it or is this a mistake and we're destined to fail!?' [/i] Like it ain't that life & death serious. For 1 I'm only a campaign manager until my Candidate wins/loses in a few months which will open up a lot of time and 2 normal people don't enter into relationships without having all their dooms day fears assuaged from the jump. Now speaking on the campaign manager simulation... I just couldn't get into it. It was written from the perspective of a college graduate trechcoat/loafer wearing go getter bottom …

This is fun, and such a great premise. I love the weaving of werewolf issues and the madness of political campaigns, two great tastes that are even better together. This is definitely one I'll play a few times through.

I was not very impressed with this story. While I thought that the plot was interesting, the text played out more like a badly written legal manual than an in-depth story.

I really wish Steam had a "maybe" recommendation option. I'll have to go with a "no" because I'd prefer the game to be focused on my character and others and their development and background, here just an activity/event (the ingame election) is in focus, so if that's what you're looking for, "Congresswolf" will be your cup of tea. + The game does get the campaign management part done well: if you're hardly familiar with how the political system in the USA works some parts might be somewhat confusing, but most of it can be done with a "Not entirely sure what this is about, but let's go with the flow." attitude. I had the initiative to look up a few words, but the game expects familiarity over ignorance, so I didn't really learn anything worthwhile about how elections in the USA generally work, but it did well in covering what are the things a campaign would include having to worry about: funding, media coverage, speeches, personal life being somewhat intertwined with your job are becoming potencial scandal (who you date for example). + An honest and fair approach could still enable victory and give good interactions despite how most people probably don't associate politics wit…

AWESOME.

Big fan of choose your own adventure books and this is a good read! I have a ton of these on my tablet but this one on steam is still a favorite!
