This could be a really intriguing turn-based spin on the whole "Tropico" type experience, taking on some really controversial topics. Sadly, it looks like a very sloppy game that has been executed pretty poorly.
I find it surprising that the target audience for this kind of material is "13+"
Quote
President for a Day - Corruption gives you the opportunity to assume the role of an African president. As such, you must make controversial decisions revolving around topics such as: democratic evolution, corruption, development aid- and cooperation. The game provides a solid foundation for discussions regarding e.g., human rights, cultural differences and governance. There are four diverse scenarios with a set difficulty for the player to engage – scenarios ranging from famine to effloresce of democracy.
In PFAD - Corruption you will be faced with a wide array of dilemmas that stem from recent events in African history. You will also witness the local and national effects of modern bilateral cooperation. What kind of leader will you be? Will you strive for democracy, or rule the country with an iron fist?
The subjects regard:
Famine, caused by draught and climate change
Foreign intervention from neighbouring, as well as, western countries.
Ethnic conflicts spun by the numerous African tribes, as well as the borders established, in the past, by the colonial forces.
The political culture of the country, in regards to upholding (or failing thereof) human rights.
Target audience: 13+ years old.
Attractive concept but, as you mentioned, the execution looks wanting. :-\
I'd really like to have more turn-based tyrannic regime sims. ^-^

Just give me another Tropico and I'll be happy.

Er... you mean besides the four sequels?
I did a first look on my channel, I think the price is right and the idea is phenomenal but unfortunately the mere 15 turns it takes to complete a game leave me with not much of a challenge. At the end you receive a "Rating" depending on how you ran your country. That being said I need something to fullfill my tropico itch since ive played them all so much my fingers are practically bleeding. Also I can't stand Calypsos insistence on releasing completely useless DLC every couple months.
PS: I want that Eric avatar! I just want to take a flashlight and show you about the universe.
