The People's House

You’ve risen to the highest office in the land—the Presidency. The campaign was grueling, but the next four years promise to be even more daunting.

The People's House is an interactive novel by R. F. Kramer, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—over 400,000 words, without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

When you take the oath of office, your life will change forever. As the Leader of the Free World, every decision you make will shape the nation—and define your legacy. With the stroke of a pen, you can alter the course of history, but power is never absolute.

Your Vice President, Cabinet, and advisors claim to have your back—but ambition is a dangerous thing. The press is hungry for a scandal, and your political enemies are eager for a shot at the White House. Can you protect your own family from the pressures of power, or will they become collateral damage in your rise to greatness?

You entered office with a strong sense of morals and a determination to cement your vision into history. Now, it’s up to you to decide if you’ll hold on to them, even if it costs you everything.
