Here at Jujubee, we’ve always thought that games should address current and serious topics. In the case of our historical-documentary game KURSK we touched on the subject of the Russian submarine tragedy and to what end an arms race could lead to, in Deep Diving Simulator we focused on issues related to the ecology and protection of our underwater world, and Realpolitiks tackles the problem of terrorism and migrations. In COVID: The Outbreak we allow the players to face the most current and touching topic of all - a pandemic of a dangerous virus.
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.
The virus will adapt to your actions by means of mutation so you must predict and take into account its transmission abilities, time of incubation, drug resistance, and a whole lot more. Decide whether a country should close its borders and quarantine citizens to reduce the number of new infections, or construct new hospitals and emergency tents to speed up the recovery of the already infected. Choose wisely.
FEATURES:
Pandemic Management - advise the world what needs to be done in order to survive the dreadful disease; manage funds, staff, medicine, and research priorities.
Issue Emergency Decrees - declare national emergency and close borders, enforce obligatory vaccination, close schools and airports. Do whatever it takes to stop the coronavirus.
Research New Projects - developing new ways to fight off the disease is a sound strategy. Remember to be cautious as your enemy may mutate, rendering your newly acquired ability completely useless.
Unpredictable Events - how you handle the ongoing fake news, mass stockpiling of supplies, or people ignoring the incoming threat will go a long way towards deciding whether you will prevail against the disease, or succumb to it.
Construct Vital Buildings - build hospitals, emergency tents, research institutions, checkpoints, police stations, and a whole lot more. Every building you enact may become the decisive factor in stopping the outbreak.
Games Beyond™ - educate yourself on how a coronavirus operates, what can you do if you become infected, and why quarantines are issued. Understand why a pandemic is a threat to humanity.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
This is offensive and unnecessary. It's disappointing that GOG would even put this game on the site. The developers have a note that a percentage of all sales during the months of May and June will go to one of Bill Gates' charities, but the release date is May 29th, so... there goes a whole month?
I hope gog keeps this game long enough for me to upgrade to a computer that can run this so i can see how much of a meme this game is!
with the emergance of covid 19 there has been a distinct lack of good news on tele, so I'll drop some here. Since the outbreak became global, death by natural causes, suicide, accidents, cancer and old age have plummeted, while covid 19 appears to be picking up the slack. now we just need to wait for covid 19 to be beaten by our natural immune systems and world death will have been all but cured!
untill world war chyna XD.
The company touts this as "education", yet makes no mention of how the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry and the government agencies that they have captured is the real cause of the harmful effects of the pandemic, such as the suppression of early treatments like Ivermectin due to it being very cheap, safe, and effective - less than one cent per dose - which could have ended the pandemic in a couple of months with prophylactic use, but would not have made the Industry billions at the expense of the lives of hundreds of thousands.
This is disgusting. Stop listening to the Nazis and start listening to people like Dr. Robert Malone, M.D., who invented the mRNA vaccine technology and is not afraid to tell everyone how his tech has been dangerously misused to the detriment of millions of people!
