Balance the Budget
After a long and promising career you finally get the call. You are the one chosen, you are now chancellor of the exchequer, in charge of the government purse strings.
Before you can even get comfortable in your new office the news comes that a virus is running rampant around the globe. The worlds going crazy and you have to make the decisions about how the budget is spent. Will save lives? Save the economy? Or be over-ruled at every turn.
It a crazy time and no-one really knows what's coming next.

Something is wrong... most of the time, the selection I make is applied, however, in some questions, my selection doesn't apply (for example, sometimes when I click yes, it says "proposal rejected" and sometimes when I click no, it says "granted")
That's part of the game. You can be over-ruled by the Prime Minister if they don't agree with you. It was created for the GMTK 2020 and the theme was "Out of Control".
Ah, that’s interesting :) thanks for clarifying :)
Aahhh, I was so close to eradicating the virus, but I blew my budget when there were a mere 1k infected left. Super fun concept, similar to lapse, but the over-ruled mechanic is a fun twist (although RNJesus was really unfair to me at the end). Solid work. I wasn't fully sure how exactly the GDP was helping in game, unless it was just there to act as a final stat, which is fine too I suppose.
