The music makes this game so depressing. Also the game is kinda hard to understand, all I did was spamming the options lol.

Dang this a tough strategy game, honestly I dig it. The alt history storyline and usage of the doomsday clock is really cool, it is stressful to keep all 3 things in check, (Imo a little unfair for NATO to start off on 0% stability while the USSR to be at 100%) the music adds to the feeling of despair and I love it

It was too hard to reach 12 o'clock, way easier was win/lose. This is an interesting concept, it's force you to think about what humanity do. 

Good job.

Submitted

Very unique game. I'm usually really bad at those types of games but you have made it very easy to understand while maintaining the complexity of a strategy. Good job, had fun with this one.

I ended the soviet union very fast. I didn't expect this type of game here, and I am glad that I played it :D it was good but a little too short. Good job! 

Submitted

really like the concept, lots of potential and really creative, feel like you like a bit of agency as a player, since you cant get new cards unless you use the old ones, altho that might be intentional as a statement of the real world hahah, great job anyway

Submitted

Great setting and well designed game! 

Bonus points for putting not-fun facts on the game page :'(

Submitted

So first of all, I really appreciate the Cold War setting; that gives you some bonus points from me :)

And the game as a whole is honestly fantastic. Its super creative, the art and the music is absolutely phenomenal and the gameplay is straight up addicting (even if it is quite RNG dependent).


I truly hope that this game wins the jam - its just that good!

Damn... You've created a whole role-playing game in under 3 days. I'm amazed. just wow

Submitted

very hard game but I had fun with it, super unique concept and quite well executed, maybe the game couldve been explained better but thats my only critique, other than that, great game!

Submitted

I couldn't win, but maybe you can't? Beautiful and well thought out. The music adds great ambience.

Would you like to play a game?

How refreshing. I didn’t actually win, but what would that mean in the grand scheme of things anyhow? I did find myself wishing to discard on occasion. I’ve added this to my collection in case there are updates in the future.

I really like the way the theme has been used here, well done!

Really cool concept and the controls are quite intuitive. But my pea-sized brain couldn't comprehend it. I did try to keep both sides to 0% but failed to do so haha.
