The official demo is finally out.

Great news!!!

The official demo is finally out.

I’m proud to say that after months of late nights, bug fixes, and tweaking balance, you can now play the first campaign of Pälətiks. This is your chance to experience the chaos of a 20-day political brawl. Build your deck, win over blocs, sabotage rivals, and see if you can survive until Election Day.

The demo features:

• Two paths to victory: Win votes or crush your rival’s Integrity.

• Dynamic daily events: Every day changes the rules of play.

• Deck-building madness: Outreach, Response, and Sabotage cards to experiment with.

• A taste of the full campaign: Carry-over funds, party hires, buttons, and more.

• Full controller and steam deck support!

This is just the beginning, and your feedback will help shape the road to launch. So dive in, try different strategies, and tell me what worked (and what didn’t).

ROAD AHEADːhandyhammerː

• More Campaigns Each with unique goals, challenges, and rewards.

• More Blocs Distinct groups with their own quirks and behaviors.

• More Cards Response, Outreach, Sabotage... and unpredictable Wildcards!

• More Buttons Passive perks, clever combos -- or just for fashion.

• More Hirelings Recruit them, exploit them, or fire them -- your call.

• Propaganda System A double-edged sword that can sway the people or backfire spectacularly.

• More Mini-Games Quick twists that can make or break your run.

• ...and just MORE of everything.

Thank you for supporting a solo dev.

If you haven’t already, please wishlist the game and help me push toward 10,000 wishlists -- it would mean the world. And of course, share it with a friend (or rival ːsteammockingː).
