Sometimes story games deal with dark, topical issues. We took the new Candidate quest for a spin and, well… we got our Trump-analog elected President.

First off, my deepest apologies. We did a bad, bad thing.

Our premise was, basically, what if you were the professionals hired to get a horrible person elected? A politician none of you were really behind, and yet, it's your job, you poor bastards?

Our candidate, John Morgan was determined to build a wall between US and Them -- "them" of course being Canada, our treacherous neighbors to the North! It really looked like we would lose. We failed both starting challenges and went into the finale dogged by scandals and hemorrhaging backers and money like nobody's business. How did we pull out the win? The drastic solution of screwing over our would-be Vice President and literally selling the position to a fabulously wealthy technocrat (the Bill Gates of Googlebook).

Oh, and then our ad strategist shot the opposing candidate. Just to be on the safe side. Because nothing cements democracy like violence.
