RULE. EMBEZZLE. REPEAT.
Dictatorville
The satirical decision game where every Yes makes an enemy and every No makes two.
Coming soon
One email when it reaches the App Store. Nothing else, ever. Privacy.
One term in thirty seconds
Pick who to meet
Six groups want your attention every month, and you can only see one at a time. Whoever you skip keeps count.
Stamp it
Each visit brings an official HOA request. Slam the stamp: APPROVED or DENIED. Flo shows you who gains and who loses before you answer.
Live with it
Support moves, money moves, and the neighborhood remembers. Some decisions come back to you months later.
Survive emergencies
A coyote at the pool, a burst pipe, a news van at the gate. You have seconds to choose, and waiting is the worst choice.
Fine the neighbors
On inspection day, tap every purple door, overgrown lawn and stray flamingo. Each fine brings the HOA $250.
Pick a side
When two neighbors go to war, you decide who wins. The loser will not forget it.
Build, then rule forever
Each project needs money, an approval and one tough call. Build six, reach 100% Control and pass the President for Life amendment before an election, an audit or Gary Nolan ends your term.
Screenshots
Congratulations, President. Nobody else wanted the job.
Willow Creek Estates has 212 mailboxes, one retention pond and six groups of neighbors who agree on nothing. You have been elected president of the homeowners association. You intend to stay.
Each turn you choose who to meet: Retirees, Families, Renters, The Board, Investors or Pet Owners. They bring a request. You answer Yes or No. Somebody is delighted, somebody else starts a petition, and the neighborhood map changes to show what you did.
Build six projects to reach 100% Control, pass the "President for Life" amendment, and the cul-de-sac is yours. Along the way a little HOA money may find its way into your slush fund. The game shows you the odds of getting caught before you reach for it.
"Fine 8 Oak for the 12-foot skeleton that is still up in March?"Barb Kowalski, Heron Lane Porch Watch. One of 160+ requests.
What is in the game
160+ requests, six factions
Pickleball courts, backyard hens, a violation drone, a coyote named Kevin. Every answer pleases some neighbors and angers others.
10 presidents who move
The Neighbor, The Lawyer, The Influencer, The General, The Mogul and more. Each one is animated and plays differently.
29+ timed emergencies
A burst pipe, a news van, a green pool. Decide before the clock runs out, because doing nothing is also a decision.
Projects with strings attached
Every project needs the money, an approval and one decision of its own, like the Herald's first front page or who gets the gate code.
Gary Nolan
Your rival has a clipboard, a grudge and a recall petition. Survive him, read his file and prove him wrong.
Seven hand-painted neighborhoods
From Willow Creek Estates to Belvedere Country Club, Palm Isle Resort and snowy Aspen Summit. The map changes with every decision and project.
The slush fund
Skim HOA money, bribe the right people and spend influence on perks. Scrutiny rises each time, and the risk is always on screen.
Flo, your advisor
A pink lawn flamingo in sunglasses who previews what each answer will cost you. He does not judge. Much. He also has a wardrobe.
Daily rewards and chests
Check in every day for gnomes, gavels and handy items like Flo's Coffee and the Pocket Watch, with chests on day 5, every 10 days, and days 30, 50 and 100.
50+ trophies, a career, a daily challenge
Climb from Block Captain upward, win on four difficulty levels and take on a new challenge every day. The game autosaves and backs up to your iCloud.
How you win
- Build six projects, from The Willow Creek Herald to The Front Gate. Each needs money, an approval and one decision.
- Reach 100% Control.
- Pass the "President for Life" amendment.
How you lose
- Any group's support drops to zero.
- Scrutiny reaches 100.
- The HOA goes broke.
- You lose the annual election (under 30% Control, your odds drop fast).
- Gary Nolan's recall petition succeeds.
Four kinds of neighbors
Difficulties unlock in order. Each one reads the bylaws a little more closely, and each pays more career XP: ×1, ×1.5, ×2 and ×3.
| Indifferent | Nobody reads the bylaws. Nobody reads anything. |
|---|---|
| Semi-Informed | They skim the newsletter and have opinions about it. |
| Hipsters | They read the bylaws ironically, then cite them sincerely. |
| Karens | They want to speak to the manager. You are the manager. |
