How it plays
One career. Six chapters. No way back down.
- 01
Start small
Buy a nomination form with your own savings and fight for your ward.
- 02
Work the delegates
Win your party’s primary with calls, promises… or envelopes.
- 03
Run the campaign
Rallies, radio jingles, debates and a war chest that never feels big enough.
- 04
Win the night
Sit in the war room as the count comes in, live.
- 05
Climb
Councillor, chairman, assembly, senate, governor, president.
- 06
Fall
Scandals leak. Investigators call. Every life ends in the papers.
Screens

Questions
When can I play it?
Way Up is in development. The first path, Politics, is playable in our builds. We’ll announce the store release here and on the MLabs Games home page.
Is it based on real politicians or parties?
No. Every person, party and place is fictional, including the country of Kandara. You can also play in a real country’s system, with generated names.
Do I need internet or an account?
No. All content ships in the game and your saves stay on your phone.
What else is coming?
More careers on the same engine: Law, Medicine, Entrepreneur, Developer, Student and others.
Is it for kids?
It’s rated 12+ in our store listing draft, because it references corruption and has mild, non-graphic violence.
