Be President: Life Simulator

Be President is a satirical political life simulator and election strategy game. You start at 24 with no money, no name and a county seat to run for. You finish — decades later — as President of the United States, or as a state senator nobody can quite place, or considerably earlier than either.

One life, one career, one shot at the Oval Office. Each year you pick a few actions, then the year happens to you.

★ WHAT YOU DO
• Run for office — eight rungs from county seat to the presidency
• Win elections with real, visible odds, never a hidden dice roll
• Pass laws, hold rallies, work the press, court the donors
• Marry, raise children, keep your friends and manage your enemies
• Invest, buy, borrow — get rich, or get audited
• Survive scandals, indictments and impeachment
• Die, read your obituary, and carry on as your heir

★ A POLITICAL CAREER SIMULATOR WITH SIX PATHS
Executive, Legislative, Legal, Finance, Law Enforcement or Education. Every career ends in the White House, and each takes a different kind of politician to survive. You cannot skip rungs. Terms have to be served, seats have to be held, and the only way to run for something bigger is to risk what you already have.

★ ELECTIONS THAT ARE ACTUALLY MODELLED
This is an election simulator, not a coin flip. Each race is a vote-share forecast: candidate quality, incumbency, campaign money with diminishing returns, the national mood that year, and an honest margin of error. Before you file, the game shows you the whole calculation — what is helping, what is costing you, and your true chance of winning. Primaries run on fervour and party standing. General elections run on approval. Debate first if you think you can move the number.

★ A LIFE SIM, NOT JUST A POLITICS GAME
Partners with their own jobs and temperaments. Children who grow up and form opinions. Parents, siblings, friends, allies and enemies who remember everything. More than fifty things to do with the people in your life — and none of them cost you a turn.

★ MONEY
An index fund, a crypto coin named after your cousin, a racehorse, an island. Eighteen possessions, nine investments and four kinds of loan, each with upkeep and the occasional story.

★ THE UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENTS DIVISION
Rivals are a problem with several solutions. Fund their primary opponent. Have them audited. Promote them somewhere useless. Or arrange something more permanent — and spend the rest of your career wondering who is going to talk. Dark political satire, played entirely for laughs: a falling piano with a probability attached.

★ DYNASTY
When a life ends you get an obituary, a legacy score and a title. If you left a child, play on as them — with the estate after tax, the family name, and every grudge your parent earned.

★ EASY TO LEARN
A guided walkthrough introduces each part of the game the first time you reach it, and How to Play explains any part again whenever you want. More than 140 actions, shown six at a time and ranked for your situation, so you never face a wall of options.

★ PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Italiano, Français, Português, Nederlands, Polski, Bahasa Indonesia, Tiếng Việt, Русский and Українська. It opens in your phone's language; switch any time in Options.

★ PLAY OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT
No sign-up. No login. No servers. No internet needed — a true offline game. Your save lives on your device and never leaves it.

★ WHAT IT COSTS
Free to play, with ads between elections. One small one-time purchase removes them forever. There is an optional video that adds ten points to your chance in a race — only if you tap it, and never for the presidency. That one you win on your own.

Be President is a work of satire and fiction. It is not affiliated with any government, party, candidate or official body.

If you enjoy life simulators, text-based strategy games, political games, president simulators and tycoon-style decision games, this one was made for you.
