Source Code:

Live the dream — Save your neighborhood by gathering enough signatures to convince the local council to lower the speed limit on the highway. Make friends with pedestrians, dodge the cops, engage in Machiavellian plots to further your political ends.

Well, maybe not that last one. But you can be extremely evil if you really want to.

And to think that it was all (loosely) inspired by Don Quixote.

Controls:

Like all VectorStorm games, Petition Damsel makes an honest attempt to use a gamepad if you have one connected. If not (or if it doesn’t work for some reason), you can control the game using the arrow keys, and the space bar as your “A Button”.

You may quit the game by pressing ‘Esc’.
