• Forgetful Dictator is now free! (Plus big update!) - 3 November 2023

  Forgetful Dictator is now free on all platforms! This was a little side project I hadn't touched in a while, but I decided to go back, polish it up, and make it free. Thanks everyone for the support! The Steam version will come first, then I'll update the mobile versions soon after. In addition I've done a major update: I've added 150 more trivia questions to the pool. Difficulty has been reworked, simply because the base game was too hard. Now the default game mode features an autocomplete field for entering countries and capitals. Multichoice questions have been reduced down from four options to three. In addition, you can now "Abandon" a country if you're stuck. You won't get points for conquering them, but you'll be able to progress. The hardcore difficulty mode is what the standard game was before, requiring the player to spell each country and with four multichoice options for que…
