Interesting idea, implemented too 1-dimensionally. The problem is the framing revolves around hell, and there is no moral failing so bad that I believe warrants hell. But even ignoring that and acknowledging that it is satire, it just fell flat.
wow! over 10,000 downloads and $2 in organic purchases. thank you everyone for playing and supporting racial justice or equality bundlke! AND believe ME! i am enjoying the 15 cents less than the joy of seeing gamers experience our production WHICH IS A LOT! <3!
Hello you need to unzip some where then go into the unzipped folder and double click the ThePoliticalCompass.exe It uses free Renpy game engine so we are unable to code it to work more
THANK YOU yes we have created the game for you and we are proud to have opened the debate about the nature of politics. Some centrists extremists have been commenting but we listen with such feedback
Its a neat concept, but dont expect it to be too detailed politically. Each character is 1-dimensional and clearly represents one issue each. On one hand, I get that its satire on the idea of a political compass, but I feel like It could say a little more. But bonus points for being a cool concept
Part of satire is about mocking people with the same beliefs as you. No political party/side is 100% “correct” about everything. If the dev pokes fun at all sides I’d consider that a win for everyone.
I mean, don't take me wrong, but the game pretty much assumes you know. one of the guys literally said poor people has nothing ahead of them and criticized homosexuals... and another was harassed by bigots. like, it's pretty explicit who these people are.
i had no clue what to expect when getting this game, nor did i expect it to be funny esp considering the subject matter. it was, & definitely worth at least a dollar. the designs for some of the souls were pretty interesting too. good game :-)

hello and thank you we believe great art should allow the gamer to take stock and contemplate rather than psychically induce a specific message
I love this game. a bit short but for $1 USD is so good. I got it from the racial justice bundle and I love you for it. thanks for the awesome game!
got called a centrist... will now burn your car down, great game (5/5)
Fun, but I wish it told me my more detailed political compass!
seems like it is working^^
yeh sorry ur a centrist :)
I don't mean to insult!! We love you for playing!

the algorithm is unable to determine a gamers beliefs outside of the game
why so serious? did we play the same game? lmao
"Everyone's equally bad." and "Everyone's equally good." are centrist by definition. Not insulting you, just a bit of clarification.
the joke of the game is to be post ideological not like the angel who makes snap judgments on people
you need to calm down. I think you are eviscerating on comedy developers
I mean, don't take me wrong, but the game pretty much assumes you know. one of the guys literally said poor people has nothing ahead of them and criticized homosexuals... and another was harassed by bigots. like, it's pretty explicit who these people are.
Yeah, if you don't make any moral judgments it's going to call you a centrist. What result would you have expected?
I hoppe it will become full game eventually.
thank you! with help from Buff Gaming we can make a sequel based in itchy o feedback
The art was surprisingly good. Game has character that's for sure.
