Our take on Pandemic Isolation
Rather than centering on exploration or combat, this game places everyday isolation choices at the heart of play. Food allocation, requests, activities, and relationships shape the character’s days, while quests can change how events unfold.
What is Pandemic Isolation?
Manage a character’s daily life in self-isolation with limited resources.
Decide how to divide groceries, which requests to answer, and how to allocate activities. Quests can change the course of play, and choices affect both the main character and others. The game includes opportunities to make friends and let some characters live in the main character’s home. Keep food stocked and find entertainment while facing the monotony of isolation. The character’s mental state is also part of the challenge.
