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.

... allowing something in such obviously poor taste on their platform. I don't care if this is seen as "off-topic" - no, there are lines you do not cross. This is profiting on peoples' actual, factual, real-life suffering. What is *wrong* with people, to think something like this is even remotely okay?
(This review breaks the rules to review exclusively the in-game experience. Remove it if you must)
To give the developers the benefit of the doubt, they may have had good intentions.
However, this game is in incredibly poor taste at the moment given the worldwide effects of this pandemic and the number of people who have lost loved ones to the virus, their livelihoods and/or many personal freedoms.
Perhaps there will be a place for this game in the same category of other games that explore dark periods in the world's history, but right now it is too fresh and too immediate.
While I do not think this game is fundamentally any ethically worse than other games that promote lifelike violence or discuss the spread of disease, the choice of timing and title at best demonstrates an alarming insensitivity.
I very rarely post reviews for games, but I was upset enough to see GOG promoting this one that I am doing so.
I'll keep it brief without emotions:
The good:
1. Gameplay might be great.
2. The 20% to put into charity and help.
The bad and ugly:
1. Name of the game when pandemic is still ongoing, looks like a huge miss from marketing department to get on a fast and cheap "hype train".
2. Timing of release.
3. Trailer looks like a mix of Plague Inc with touches of 28 Days Later.
