PLANALTO is a political simulation game that puts players in the role of Brazil’s president, inviting them to govern through four years of coalition politics, public scrutiny, and national crises. Players can begin a presidential term directly or campaign in a simulated election before taking office. Rather than choosing from preset options, they write policies in their own words; the game interprets each proposal, estimates its cost, selects a legislative instrument, and sends it through the relevant voting process.

The simulation features all 513 federal deputies, whose political relationships change over time, alongside governors, social groups, economic indicators, the Senate, and the media. Players navigate negotiations, public approval, inflation, debt, and other consequences while responding to fictionalized commentary from real public figures. PLANALTO also offers rankings, a presidential history scoreboard, a collection of achievements, and a digital diary documenting game updates.

The first 12 months of a term are available free, without a payment card. A paid subscription unlocks the full 48-month mandate and supports multiple saved terms
