A beautiful game. In the continuing pandemic and on the cusp of another, it's a harrowing little game that is also a thought experiment. As a disabled person, the questions of "Who would you tell?" and "Who will mourn you?" ring and echo in my psyche. With the amount of people that said COVID-19 would "only be dangerous to the immunocompromised", how do you tell them that you ARE one of those people that COVID would kill? How do you tell them that the eugenics that they learned directly affect someone they know?

Again, beautiful game.
Also deeply harrowing and depressing. 10/10. No other notes.

I like the presentation of the entry very much!

It has certainly Mörk Borg vibes, but with real-world apocalyptic theme instead.

Ruleswise the entry falls flat for me. The questions asked are fine and thought invoking but I miss anything that would serve as a resolution mechanic, or automat to ever get into conclusion.

Without this the entry is nicely formatted, but still only a questionary.
