Major Bug Makes Game Unplayable, DO NOT BUY

There is currently a bug that was caused by a Unity asset that we used for localization. The Unity asset has changed how it works and broke the old way we do localization, such that the game is currently unplayable.

We are trying to figure out how to fix it, but the team disbanded years ago so it is taking time to talk to old team members and find out how to fix it. We do not know how long it will take, so we advise people not to buy the game until we announce the issue has been resolved.

If you have bought the game recently please ask for a refund immediately.

About This Game

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
