Cryptid Campaign Manager [DEMO]
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A big-shot political campaign manager fallen from grace, you're forced into early retirement and relocated to Pine Pass, VT. Just as you're settling in, the mayor's sudden resignation awakens the sleepy town and has cryptid candidates Big Foot, La Llorona, and the Lich King at your doorstep. Help them earn the votes of the people and win their hearts along the way!
Fastidious, adaptable, and dedicated, you were the top political campaign manager in the big city before a major scandal forced you to hit the reset button on your life. You've been easing into the quiet life in Pine Pass and enjoying the relative anonymity, but when the call of the campaign rises, will you answer it?
Director of Parks & Recreation Big Foot may look intimidating at first glance, but he's a gentle giant well-loved by his forest-dwelling neighbors. Though Barry's reserved and a little naive, he's very friendly and sincere to a fault. Sometimes he struggles with communication, but he always knows just what to say when he puts it into the poems he loves to write.
As guarded as she is beautiful, La Llorona - The Wailing Woman - is a licensed marriage & family therapist practicing in Pine Pass. Her perpetual pout suggests a painful past, but she plays her cards so close to her chest it's difficult to get a read on her. Whether it's instructing at the pool or reading by the river, you'll often find her near a body of water.
Pragmatic, cunning, and a touch arrogant, the Lich King is a cutthroat commercial real estate tycoon who isn't afraid to do what it takes to get what he wants. When he's not consulting the stars for business advice, his favorite pastimes are speaking in double entendres and teasing those closest to him.

I love the Litch King already. He's so charming. ^_^
He doesn't even say "if you accept" he's all "when you accept". lol
The game have a small...not sure if I'd call it glitch or bug or whatever, but...
If you choose to go home after only meeting ONE person, the game still assume you met all 3.
Might wanna fix that.
(I'd say by changing that one sentence, but if several events in the game relies upon you already know the other two candidates, you may have to force the mc to meet all 3 of them before you can go home.
I love that you can choose not to, but it would make no sense to be pulled into meetings with people you don't know with the mc acting as if she knows them, which is more annoying. And somehow all 3 text you, despite 2 of them not knowing who you are.)
The demo is extremely short, which is sad.
The art and story in itself is good enough that I might have considered buying the full game (if it was on Steam), but I do wish there was more than 2 endings per love interest.
It makes me feel like choices do not truly matter.
I would have expected a game like this to have additional modifications to the endings based on what you did politically speaking --although I admit how the town change may depend solely on which candidate you choose to back...
(I will be sorely dissapointed if the town does not change based who you choose to support.)
I really like the concept of this game tho. And it seems pretty well made as far as I can tell.
I will keep my fingers crossed that this game gets as complex and wonderful as it's political premise promises it could be.
...and that I'll see it on Steam so I can buy it there. ^_^
this was very very cute and i never thought i'd be interested in romancing cryptids LOL but i loved all of them from the little bit we got to see (especially magnus who's what lucius malfoy wish he looked like). i can't wait for more!!
thank you for giving it a try, we're so glad you enjoyed it! <3
I agree with him looking a bit like Lucius Malfoy. But I do think Lucius is pretty hot, and that we need more LI's that resembles him. lol
(I'd happily vote for the wickedness and all that jazz too. But that may be just me.)
Wow the mc has the same bday as me lol
