Clout is a text-based Political Strategy Game developed solely by a game developer known in the Clout community as "Q". In it, players take on the role of a congressman in a darkly satirical version of the United States Congress. The gameplay of Clout focuses on the players introducing and passing bills in congress to change the United States in various ways, with the overreaching goal of improving the country, based on their political party's view of "improvement".The player has the choice of committing various dubious actions to help their party and themselves succeed, from taking drugs to improve their energy and reduce their stress, to hiring assassins to eliminate opposing politicians, with the possibility of being displaced from office at the end of the (Real Life) month should their known involvement in these scandals reach too high of a level.You can find the official website here: http://cloutiverse.net/ | |

| Clout (Video Game) / int_10f35f3a | comment |
Creator Breakdown: Delos Ford, the creator the game became increasingly belligerent on Kongregate, and got the game banned from there. He has also ceased all development on any other platforms. His behavior seems to indicate paranoid schizophrenia. You can see it here: https://www.kongregate.com/accounts/delosford / https://www.facebook.com/delos.ford | |
