"Elect Me" is an immersive, retro-futuristic political simulation game set in the turbulent landscape of a 2025 New York City mayoral election. Players step into the shoes of an aspiring candidate, crafting a personalized profile through background choices, traits, and ideological leanings, then navigating a turn-based campaign filled with branching narratives, team recruitment, policy dilemmas, media crises, and strategic decisions. Balancing core stats like popularity, funds, integrity, and energy, players must assemble a diverse campaign team, respond to dynamic events like AI scandals and climate disasters, and position themselves on an ideology compass to outmaneuver opponents in primaries and general elections. Rendered in a pixelated 8-bit aesthetic with CRT scanline effects, typewriter-style narrative delivery, and procedural chiptune audio, the game culminates in multiple endings based on player agency, emphasizing the high-stakes drama of modern urban politics where every compromise, alliance, and scandal shapes the path to victory—or utter defeat.
