COVID: The Outbreak is now available on
GOG.com and
Steam,
offering a Windows real-time strategy game based on the ongoing pandemic. This
is from Jujubee, developer of
KURSK, which is
based on the Russian Kursk submarine accident. To help head of criticism of the
appearance of opportunism they are pledging 20% of net sales through the end of
June to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and other charitable
foundations fighting the consequences of COVID-19. Here's
a video and here's a
bit:
As the leader of the Global Health Organization (GHO) your task is to
contain the spread of a coronavirus and save humanity before it is too late.
In addition to crisis management, the game provides the players with information
on how to behave in the event of an epidemic, what actions to take, and how to
protect themselves and their loved ones in the most effective way. The game is
based on the data published by WHO and on the information acquired from experts
and consultants.
Through your actions, you will be able to see how difficult it is to manage
during a crisis, what impact various decisions can have on an effective fight
against a global epidemic, which can be caused by listening to charlatans or the
lack of appropriate medical
equipment.
