Path to Power 权力之路 (English & 中文)

Path to Power is a text-driven U.S. political career simulator with roguelike elements — defeat is the norm.

You start in 1980 as a nobody. Across four decades of American politics you juggle reputation, money, favors and factions — climbing from a community volunteer toward the State House, Congress, and the White House. Or you collapse along the way.

Features

• A continuous historical timeline (1980–2025): the Challenger disaster, Iran–Contra, 9/11, the financial crisis, election years… real historical events hit right on schedule
• Every decision is a dice roll: reputation, funds, favors, factions, connections and voters — six dials that pull against each other
• Many endings: the White House is not the finish line — get purged, get indicted, or retire in glory. 7 career endings
• Roguelike runs: a run takes tens of minutes; every run plays out differently
• Bilingual: full English & 中文, playable on mobile (portrait)
