    Game Guide


    Resource is your priority in the beginning of game, it takes a while to understand the mechanics, but it's really intuitive and simple, which is based on real life experience and situation.


    • [Resources]
    Every economical development has its trade off, opening economical activities will lead to a higher increase of viral transmission rate in the expense of human's lives which a sad inevitable (sometimes).

    - City : good in business and trading, tourism.
    - Village / Remotes : good in providing agriculture, tourism.
    - Others : a spectrum between city and village.

    • [Logistics]
    Utilize logistics to help transfer resources from one place to another, such that local towns / cities can focus on the best economical interest separately.

    • [Military]
    Ensure enough of military officers around so you can control how the protest can be suppressed, but do not spend over the needs as better resources can be put in other development in the beginning. With more population growth stacked with unhappy citizens will more likely bring more protestors, so adjust your military budget accordingly.

    • [Protest]
    Caution: Every citizen you killed during protest is real time and will reduce your population in that town / city.

    • [Migration]
    Citizen tends to move around places looking for food, job opportunity, safety from virus, happiness, and shelter in the city. Simulation will evaluate a score based on the current city situation, for example, a person from village is more likely to move to big city for better job opportunity, but another person from that big city might escape to a much safer village from the viral spreading.

    • [Lockdown]
    Lockdown helps in curbing the viral spreading to nearby connected cities. But this is a controversial tactic often times stirring up the unhappiness and humanitarian crisis in exchange of a drastic remedy ( or is it ? ).

    • [Partially Functioning Economy]
    In stead of a full indifferent lock down, you could also open up your border of the city, but partially disable certain area of economy while maintaining a minimum functional society for a long term sustaining strategy. Some activities such as pharmaceutical / medical industries will bring in some income while keeping the cities in a safer situation ( though still in risk of viral exposure ).

    • [Media]
    Use some sweet spot of the media control to handle the happiness of citizens, some smoke screen news will help boost up economical development as well for example, tourism will increase a boost % for that week.

    • [Special Stories]
    Most of the special events can be found in the Black Market which will lead you to different path of stories and endings. Other events happened during special protests and different interaction with characters.

I honestly enjoy this game as it is everything that was promised. Watch the video on the steam page and get what you paid for. There is a little bit of a learning curve and at most times you feel helpless with the fact that the virus spreads and many people die, but its hard to tell if you population is growing or declining or if your doing good or bad. Additionally the little mini-games about putting down uprisings and such gets a little old and I wish there was a auto-resolve or something as it gets tedious. Regardless of your approve being high and if you actively share the infection numbers you will still get people trying to break into hospitals for the "real numbers". All in all the game is fun and has replay value, but it would be nice if the Dev asked for feedback about improving some game mechanics.

Come for the political satire, stay for the immersive gameplay. Strengths - There are so many subtle, and some not so subtle jokes, truly an intelligent masterpiece - There's great suspense and drama and everything is so real and accurate...to a parallel universe - Author does a great job of making sure you don't mistake your country with any other ones because it isn't the same, nope, not at all - The main game flow is intuitive - The mini-games are easy to pick up and learn - The controls are easy, you can play with just a mouse if you want - Graphics and art are A+ Needs improvement - Lots of clicks can be reduced, the region/city menus would benefit from having a left and right arrow to switch between regions/cities - No warnings on some easy-to-prevent things that are game-ending if you miss them, like not reassigning more agriculture when a region is out of food storage - It could use a little chiptune BGM, I think Overall It is a masterfully designed piece of artwork that I'm...

The origin of the virus is no longer important. What truly matters is the madness of humanity for survival and interests during the rampant spread of the virus, as well as the unwise suppression of authority, which could become another possible reason for the prolonged weakening of the world's second-largest economy for several years or even decades.

Errr... possibly the lowest cost but most complicated game of all time. Unless you can easily identify 20+ factors on a whim u gonna fail and fail bad. Maybe I'm wrong, but it really is thee most cheapest versus Complicated game of all time. Yes Im not a chess Grand master or A* student of any high spec education government programme, so I am destined to fail. The amount u need to know is up there with degree level knowledge, not easy degrees but maths or law or physics. Just....wow...what a complex game..and if u enjoy it, brilliant but not for me, an averagely more intelligent gamer than most, but not super brainy.
