"Democracy 3" also received "mixed" reviews, according to Metacritic. While Polish magazine "CD-Action" stated that the game "does much more for understanding democracy than any citizenship lesson," Daniel Schindel's critical review for "Unwinnable" noted several inaccuracies concerning the in-game effects of imposing death penalty, legalizing drugs, and strong labor laws. A spin-off game, titled "Democracy 3: Africa", was quietly released in early 2016. The game focused entirely on nations on the continent of Africa and added features to address the corruption, authoritarianism, military dictatorships, and female genital mutilation that is abundant on the continent. Players are tasked with fixing these issues, or regressing further into a dictatorship.
