A downloadable game for Windows

You are handling the response to a deadly plague. The goal is to minimize the number of fatalities. Be careful, it can spiral out of control very fast. You have a limited budget to spend on containment strategies. 

Click a tool on the bottom row or press the number key to equip it. Then click somewhere on the screen to use the tool. Each tool costs a certain amount of money.

TOOLS

  1. Vertical Wall - $300
  2. Horizontal Wall - $300 
  3. Masks - $75 - Decrease the transmission rate.
  4. Tests - $25 - Makes any asymptomatic orange patients show as purple.
  5. Stay at Home - $400
  6. Social Distancing -$250 - Decreases the transmission rate.

KEY

  • Orange - Healthy, but could be incubating or asymptomatic. 
  • Purple - Showing symptoms.
  • Black - Critical condition. When there are many in critical condition, the chance of fatalities skyrockets.
  • Brown - Recovered.
