About This Game

Hold office. Own every choice.

Mandat is an interactive political fiction game in which you govern a country in crisis. Each semester, policy dossiers land on your desk economy, state, energy, justice, immigration, schools and you decide. Yes or No. No undo button.

Between decisions, the press reacts, your advisor warns you, and headlines set the tone. The street, parliament, and public accounts rarely forgive improvisation for long.

Your mandate in 5 acts

Not a cold simulation

Mandat is not a spreadsheet: it is political storytelling through choices dense, sometimes dark, sometimes ironic. The game takes a clear authorial stance and speaks to players who want to weigh the consequences of policy.

Work of fiction: characters, media, and institutions are fictional. This is not political advice and does not encourage violence.

Languages: French and English.

Note: this game was developed largely with the help of AI tools (writing, visuals, production). The vision and design choices remain the author's own.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Mandat was developed largely with the help of generative artificial intelligence tools.

AI contributed in particular to some written content (policy dossiers, press articles, event descriptions) and some visual assets (portraits, UI elements, graphic assets). Game design choices, narrative structure, and overall creative direction remain the author's own.

The game does not generate AI content in real time during play: all content delivered to the player is built into the game in advance.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mandat deals with mature political themes in an interactive fiction: governing a country in crisis, controversial reforms, economic collapse, immigration, law enforcement, and a dictatorship mode (censorship, martial law, and re-education centers referenced in text).

The game expresses a clear political point of view. Some topics may be upsetting or unsuitable for younger players.

There is no graphic violence, nudity, or sexual content. When violence is mentioned, it appears only in text (news articles, policy dossiers, endings).

One policy dossier covers cannabis legalization; drug use is not depicted.

Work of fiction: characters, media, and institutions are fictional. The game does not encourage violence and is not political advice.

Some graphic and text assets were created or assisted using artificial intelligence tools.
