How it feels

A slow, somber simulation that weighs survival and moral choices against the backdrop of a collapsing nation, making every decision feel heavy and personal.

What players say

Players praise the game for capturing the despair and humanity of the 1998 Indonesian riots, though they find it too short at around 3 hours. Some note the difficulty is low, while others say it piles on obligations with little pay, and reviews split on whether upgrades feel meaningful.
