Our take on Civic Story
Players looking for combat or systems-heavy play will bounce off when the experience settles into point-and-click conversations and political reading. Those seeking a neutral treatment of elections may also hit a wall once the exaggerated debate parody and comedic tone take over.
What is Civic Story?
Civic Story is an interactive point-and-click visual novel set during a sudden federal election.
Across eight chapters, players follow quirky characters, politicians, colleagues, and members of the public as political events affect their lives. Dialogue choices can change each playthrough, with different stories and up to nine character endings to discover. The game includes political vocabulary, information to explore, headline creation, and a satirical depiction of dramatic political debates. Its fictional story draws on real-world politics and civics, presented through a colourful, comic-inspired 3D visual style. The experience focuses on comedic writing, interactive conversations, and repeated playthroughs with varied choices.
