About the Story
As President Anton Rayne, lead Sordland during your first term of this text-based narrative RPG. Navigate a political drama, driven by conversations with your cabinet members and other significant figures in a country with its own complicated history. With looming border conflicts, entrenched corruption, economic crisis and people desperate for reform, as leader the difficult choices fall on your shoulders as you strive to uphold your election promises.
In 1954, the country of Sordland is emerging from a 20-year dictatorship, following a bloody civil war. You play as a charismatic young man, Anton Rayne, who has surprised everyone by rising to the top of the party in power and getting elected as the new President of Sordland.
The people are hungry for democratic reforms after decades under a traditionalist power. The economy is in shambles and the political landscape is shifting. Neighboring superpowers are watching closely, and there are military threats on the horizon.
As President, you have the final say but every choice you make has an impact. Your colleagues, the opposition, corporations; everyone has a point of view. Think and act carefully: once enacted your choices can not be reversed.
Good luck, Mr. President.

I tried to be a good leader in Suzerain and was sentenced to life in prison
Suzerain is a fascinating game in that it won't allow a truly unerring paragon of virtue to succeed. You have to make some compromises. You have to pick a devil to do a deal with or they'll all unite against you. You don't have the budget to maintain a robust secret police that will shield you from your ruthless political enemies and fund every school and healthcare clinic in the country at the same time. You have to make sacrifices somewhere. I chose to sacrifice my freedom and ended my days in prison, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Make a constitution check, please
This is a game that had me covering my mouth with disappointment at a betrayal, howling in triumph at cross-examining some legislation, and saying aloud to an imaginary billionaire "Threaten me again son and I will nationalise your shit".
The press will lie. Parliament will ask you to sign bills with misleading titles. The people will inspire a song called "My Electorate Are Stupid Pigs". Your principles may be your strongest weapon or your downfall. This is politics. This is Suzerain.

‘Suzerain’ Is a Political Strategy Game that Shows Why ‘Unity’ Is a Trap
The nuanced dilemmas [Suzerain] presents, set against a detailed and convincing backdrop of mid-20th century history in a fictional world, make it one of the most fascinating political strategy games of the past several years. Embracing the opportunities and straining against the limits of choose-your-own-adventure interactive fiction, it is an essential game that speaks not just to this moment, but the paths that lead to and from here.
