Doomsday Room

Doomsday Room... A game that came out on the same day as my 16th birthday. When I first saw this game while browsing down in Steam, I first thought that the concept might be interesting. So I waited a while, I saved some money and then bought the game. The first time I played this game I was a little bit disappointed that this game was not that satisfying for me. The game was not bad or didn't have bugs or anything but I overestimated what this game could offer. But after playing for a while I think that this game is worthwhile. To put it mildly this game offers a cold-war scenerio that you can role play in it. Being a diplomat in the UN and trying to solve or create crises was entertaining. While playing this game I felt that this game was very similar but an advenced version of a browser game called "Three Minutes to Midnight" which is a game you can play on browser at itch io. This game also felt similar to the game "Cold War 2" which is also a browser game. All in all the game was ...

I just completed my first play through and things got ugly. Like nuke the world ugly. Enjoyed every second of this! I've always wanted to find something similar to old games like Balance of Power / Shadow President, and while this isn't going to replace that game for me, it certainly has elements of that game that are presented well. It can be difficult at times to see how your choices will impact the short/long term issues. An example: Nordland appeared to be just into the red, but things kept getting to Defcon 1. I couldn't figure out why this was happening and this is what eventually triggered a Nuclear war. They nuked us all. I may have missed something, or don't fully understand all of the game mechanics my first time through, but either way it was still an enjoyable experience. If you are a fan of Shadow President, Balance of Power or political sims this is a solid entry.

Can we have character customization, and also-I don't know how to actually stir conflict in nations, is it the nuclear testing? Because I'm trying to do the Covert Ops and I don't actually know how to do the tasks given, nor does it show any indicator saying that the covert op is complete. Can anybody help? Other than that, this a really good game, I love it already, and you guys should keep developing it! It's a very educational game, and also fun to know you can lead something! I recommend this game. Edit 2/4/21: I figured out how to do the Covert Ops, but there should be more chances to actually complete them. The tasks stated by Covert Ops don't always pop up, and when they do, it's already at a point of no return. Kind of unfair. Ahead in the arms race, ahead in the space race, medium tensions that are completely manageable-what am I doing wrong?🤔 I do all that and still have Jackie who has 3 stars telling me to get out of office.

Good game!

There's not much replayability for me. It's just the same scenario over and over.

An overall OK game, but it lacks in depth and the French translation is appreciated. It could however use some proofreading. It is worth it on sale.

It feels like you are forced to pick between bad and bad, and usually you are presented with only two choices. Feels too restrictive.
