Our take on Self-Isolation
The central work task is issuing QR codes that let people leave home, while following a rule that excludes anyone over 65.
What is Self-Isolation?
Set in the fictional Yublin Federation during a virus outbreak, this simulation follows a person in self-isolation with a wife and daughter.
Work remotely on a computer for the government, issuing QR codes that allow people to go out. A decree bars people over 65 from receiving codes, and the rules become stricter as the days pass. At home, money and supplies are limited, so the family budget and relationships need attention alongside work. An interactive phone and computer provide applications for daily tasks, while nightmares affect sleep. The story offers choices, and each day presents greater difficulty. The stated goals are to support the family, keep the job, and maintain sanity. The game also includes 10 achievements.
