When COVID-19 first broke out, you would have seen nothing but Plague Inc jokes, and in being topical and hopeful for the future, Ndemic Creations has released The Cure update. It will be available for both iOS and Android for now, with other versions to follow suit.
From their news post:
In partnership with global health experts, we’re very excited to release Plague Inc: The Cure, the biggest expansion yet for Plague Inc.!
In a reversal from the classic game, players must try to save the world by controlling the global pandemic response.Hunt the Disease: Dispatch research teams around the world to find patient zero, track the spread of the outbreak, boost testing capacity and support local responses.
Control the Outbreak: Implement measures such as contact tracing, lockdowns and border closures to limit the spread of the outbreak, whilst getting people to wash their hands and preparing hospitals to prevent them getting overwhelmed.
Support the Economy: People won’t comply with poorly designed quarantine/lock down measures; use furlough schemes and other policies to drive community support and consensus.
Develop a Vaccine: Research, manufacture and distribute a vaccine to stop the disease. Work carefully and promote global cooperation to accelerate development.
Created with the help of world health and infectious disease experts from all over the world including the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI), World Health Organisation (WHO) and Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), Plague Inc: The Cure sees players balance social, economic and global health factors in order to keep the disease under control whilst also maintaining public trust.
