WAWE LLC will showcase *The Prime Minister’s Crest: Path to Power* at the Tokyo Game Show 2026. The game’s booth is located at N8-03. Visitors can try out a demo that is still in development.
The Story Is Set in an Alternate Japan
The game's story is set in an alternate version of Japan. The economy has collapsed, triggering a prolonged recession known as the Great Recession. The public is on the verge of losing patience.
Kazuma Oriki leads a new political party called Kokumin Kaigi. He began his career as a prefectural governor. He then rose to the office of prime minister.
Public demands are growing more radical as the social order deteriorates. Conflicts with capitalists continue to arise. The struggle for resources and dangerous emotional entanglements also shape Kazuma’s journey. Every decision can change the fate of many people.
