Suzerain is an interactive fiction/visual novel game with a political backdrop. You take control as president of a republic in the 1950s, set in an analogue to the real world Cold War. Superpowers exist to the west and east, and your job is to guide your country diplomatically, politically, and ideologically.
I haven't played too much so far, but I've liked what I've seen so far. There's tons of lore and background for every country and character you encounter without being overwhelming, and it seems like choices do make an impact. Usually with these games, I don't go back and replay to see other "routes", once is enough for me, but I'm feeling like I'll finish this one.
Verdict: Keep Playing
