About the Game
In the Fractured Kingdom, politicians really are monsters.
Whether it's the Vampires ensuring that the population have the calorie content of their blood tattooed on their necks, or the Zombies implementing speed limits on walking - the nation suffers just the same.
It's time for CHANGE.
Because once YOU become Prime Monster, the nation will suffer in NEW and EXCITING ways!
In the parliament of the Fractured Kingdom, rational argument is not required! You can bully, blackmail, threaten and commit grievous bodily harm in order to win votes. And that's just on the members of your own party!
Release the Nosferatu Files? Decriminalise arson? Allow Same Hex Marriage? Finally - you're in charge and can enact your appalling policy agenda on a weary nation!
Whether it's doubling-down on your problematic past social media posts, accepting free samples from an arms dealer or tear-gassing your own housekeeper - you're the boss and you do things YOUR WAY.
30 reprehensible representatives from 15 political parties are ready and waiting to savage your ideas, policies and personal appearance!
Every card is a choice – you can either play it for the effect (how conventional!) or you can do as any good politician does and seek to exploit it for Political Capital, which allows you to deploy your powerful personal Tactics.
Are you a political bruiser, a slimy bastard or an irredeemable bungler? Play as all three of these classic political archetypes in the form of Chopper Badstone of Orcs-4-U, Viscount Sucksworth of Vampiric Victory or Rotilda De Cay of The Zombified People's Movement.
The public wants things you can't afford, your party wants things you can't achieve and opponents just want you dead. To hold on to power you'll have to somehow maintain your personal authority, political capital, poll rating and cash. Good luck!
All debates should be bound by respect and decorum, right? Wrong! Here if you don't like what your opponent is saying, you can simply have them killed. Just make sure the Shrieker of the House doesn't catch you!
Ramp up the difficulty by making ridiculous pledges to a gullible electorate in a misguided attempt to secure a legacy!
Has your political career been like watching a clown run across a minefield - except not funny? Has your party lost faith in you? Steal the initiative by resigning like the hopeless failure you are!

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
As the release month draws to a close, we have another patch for you. And this one contains some much-requested features...
FAST MODE
Sometimes politicians just don't know when to shut up. We get it.
From now on, you can open the Settings at any time and toggle Fast Mode on. This will speed up animations, remove pauses and reduce delays all across the game.
Now your career can really crash and burn - at speed!
CANCELLING ACTIONS
Just like any good politician, you wanted to be able to commit to something and then gracelessly reverse your decision. Again, very reasonable.
So now you can! After playing a card or using a Tactic, if it results in a choice of some kind you will be able to back out at any time by clicking on the "X" in the top-right corner.
So get out there and start making some screeching U-turns!
FEEDBACK FORM
You've got things to say and (as is the theme of this post) you want to say them FAST.
Well, we've got a solution for you. If you open the Pause menu or press F2 at any point, you'll see a new button for our Feedback Form. Simply open that up, hammer down your opinions violently into your keyboard, and then click the button to fling it in our big, stupid faces.
It's cathartic AND constructive!
And finally (sort of)…Where there has been harmony, we are happy to bring -
DISCORD
Having studied MPs intensely, we know there is nothing they enjoy more than hearing the opinions of their constituents. So we decided that we too must provide a better way for you to give voice to your views. We ask only that you try and limit the personal abuse to within acceptable parameters. Think of us as politicians if that helps. Nobody would ever dream of being rude to them!
You can join here: https://discord.gg/tYFcwzXD9y
AND MORE…
But that's not all - there are also tonnes more balance changes and bug fixes, all listed below in a large and very interesting wall of text.
THE END OF THIS POST
So there we have it. We suspect the most exciting part of this will be Fast Mode, but let us know (perhaps even on Discord?) if you feel differently.
Once again, thanks for playing!
Features
Fast mode setting added in the Settings menu (accessible from the main menu, or via the Pause menu). Enabling Fast mode will activate the following:
Global: Popup animations are faster. Currencies skipping to their respective meters is removed. The animation when getting a new tactic, staff or item (element going to the player’s drawer) is removed. Tactic, staff and buff pings are now grouped when triggered at the same time.
Debate: Leader animations and pauses are faster during debates. Leaders sliding in-and-out when swapping during debates are faster. Roll modifiers triggers (e.g. Whipped, Rooted) are faster. The hold time before a turn starts is faster. Pings from end of turn actions are faster. The gain/loss animation for the Unity gauge is faster, and the flip animation will only trigger once, even if filled/depleted multiple times.
Dice MPs: The entry and exit animations are faster. The roll animation and animation for the roll results are faster. When multiple MPs are convinced at the same time, all stance additions or removals are updated at the same time, rather than one by one.
Shrieker: The Eye roll animation is faster. The scream animation at the end of a debate is faster.
Lobby: The dice votes fall simultaneously. Rewards are displayed faster after debate.
Office: Red box decisions are dealt and open faster. Probability results are displayed faster.
A new in-game feedback form is now available to report bugs, balancing issues and any other type of feedback. It can be accessed from the Main menu, or by pressing the F2 key anytime.
You can now back out of playing tactics, items and cards that have a targeting step if you get buyer's remorse. Click the X button in the top-right corner to cancel the action.
Note: Sucksworth's "Quick Thinking" Dominate option is excluded from this.
Balance
Gameplay
Adjusted the "Missing Funds" Red Box decision from 25k to 5k and prevented the "Gift Grift" Red Box decision from appearing in Term 0. This avoids a common Elder Statesmonster auto-loss scenario in Term 0.
Rotilda de Cay
Adjusted the "Drone On" card to increase its PC Exploit value from 1 to 2.
Opponents
Adjusted Lord Gorse's behaviour in his Term 3 debate; he will now remove party debuffs on himself and Rabid.
Staff members
Adjusted the "Spin Doctor" staff member to allow preventing Poll losses in debate or on return to office, instead of the first poll loss after being acquired.
Adjusted the "Rebel Ghost" staff member to increase its Unity drain from 8 to 20.
UI/UX & Visuals
Added an option to view your existing tactics, cards and staff members when being awarded new tactics, card upgrades and new staff members.
Adjusted the Skip option timing for the Election cutscene so it can be skipped sooner in the animation and allow the post-reward sequence to be skipped as well.
Adjusted the buff pings so they only trigger once, even if the effect is triggered multiple times within one action (“Paperpusher” staff member, Rotilda’s “Dig Deep”, “Rehash” and “Dead Drop” tactics).
Adjusted staff members and tactics affecting the number of cards drawn at the beginning of the turn, so they ping simultaneously (“Guru” and “Intern” staff members, Rotilda's “Adaptive” passive tactic).
Adjusted staff members drawing cards, so they ping simultaneously (“Elder” and “Speechwriter” staff members).
Adjusted currencies offered by Staff members, so they appear from the pinged Staff member instead.
Adjusted visuals on charge tactics so the completion effect is clearer.
Adjusted the length of the Shrieker’s tie-breaker animation.
Main menu lighting, text flares, paparazzi flashes and TV turning off during the Election cutscene are now affected by the "VFX flashes" accessibility setting.
Please note this is an ongoing adjustment and other VFXs are planned to be adjusted in following patches.

Notes
For people running the game through Proton, either on Linux or Steam Deck, make sure you're running the latest Proton version; outdated Proton versions can lead to navigation issues in game, such as being unable to change or move tactics.
Prime Monster has been out for 4 days, and an awful lot of very bad ideas have become law in the Fractured Kingdom. And all thanks to you! You've beaten, killed and cajoled your MPs (sometimes in that order) and done even worse to your opponents. Truly an inspiration to politicians everywhere.
While watching these democratic horrors take place, we have been busy addressing a whole variety of issues - bugs, balancing, complaints, desires, and other general fixes. The full list of changes is at the bottom of this post.
We wanted to let you know here that we appreciate all the reviews and the comments in the forums and have read every word.
We intend to support the game with patches like the one we are releasing today - and more. Please do continue to let us know your thoughts, both here and via [email protected].
And finally - thank you for playing the game. Whether you're already an Elder Statesmonster or still at the start of your political journey, we hope you've enjoyed inflicting your horrible will on the long-suffering citizens of the FK thus far.
