How does you game relate to the theme of "Parasite"?
The game focuses on the corruption of the new head of state of a nation. Like many politicians, this one attempts to take more from his nation than he gives, which in real life has lead to the commonly known insult to refer to politicians as parasites.

I really like how hovering over cards revealed parasite-like descriptions. The animations and sounds for enacting cards were excellent too.

Very cute game, love the pixel art style, and a fun concept. I really enjoyed it, but was disappointed (though I completely understand given the time constraint!) in how few card options there were - I felt as though I couldn't really get far with the options available. But I'd love to see a future version of this if you continue to work on it, I feel like this is a great concept that could definitely be worked with further!

The game is fun, but it's incredibly hard. The highest I could get my congress was 39% before the game would put me in an unwinnable situation. I threw 2 hours at trying though so I supposed that is a sign of quality.

Interesting game; it reminds me of a version of mafia I think I've played before. I loved the punishment for the game ban haha.

If you want to play the game, you'll need to play it here

I was having some trouble getting the WebGL build to work on my website, so I was going to just nuke the upload on the backend of my website, but then did it on the Itch page that I had open instead. I am blaming this on the sleep deprivation whether it is warranted or not. Regardless, everything works on the link now if you are still interested in trying it

I really enjoyed the idea for this game! I think head of state being a parasite is extremely funny. I think the feature where hovering over the card changes the text is a little confusing, I do think some of things written were funny though. I think the visual style was very cute. (Also there was this little flicker, but it might have just been the web build, so I didn't take that into account).
