The President Simulator
Rewrite American history.
Take the Oval Office as any president in American history and govern through the real crises of that era. A single-player historical strategy game for iPhone, built from the public historical record.
Govern a nation, not a caricature
Every presidency is a complete simulation of its era. The crises, the Congress, the press, and the consequences are all drawn from history.
14 playable presidents
From Washington to the modern era. Each presidency begins at the moment its real counterpart took office, facing the world as it actually was.
281 hand-written events
Drawn from the real historical record. Every decision point is grounded in what actually happened, or plausibly could have, during that era.
Era-gated scenarios
You only face situations that could plausibly have happened during your president's actual term. History sets the stage; you decide the outcome.
Over 20 national metrics
Approval, GDP growth, inflation, congressional support, polarization, media sentiment, nuclear tension, and more. Every choice moves the numbers.
Cabinet management
Build and manage your cabinet. Appoint the right people, manage their competing interests, and hold your administration together.
Alternate timelines
Replay history and change the outcome. See how different decisions ripple across your term and reshape the nation you hand off.
31 achievements
Earn recognition for milestones across diplomacy, the economy, crisis management, and the legacy you leave behind.
End-of-presidency report
When your term ends, receive a full assessment of your legacy — how you governed, what you changed, and how history will remember you.
