The Front Gate
A downloadable prototype for Windows
In a world shattered by a mysterious plague, you are an agent for the last remnants of a government struggling to survive. Your mission is to stand at the front gate, the last bastion of hope, and decide the fate of every survivor who seeks refuge. The line between a potential ally and a silent carrier of the deadly infection is razor-thin.
Your choices are crucial. Every person you admit could be a valuable asset: a scientist who can accelerate the search for a cure, a soldier to bolster your defenses, or a laborer to help rebuild society from the ground up. But every choice carries a risk. A single mistake could introduce the infection into your community, threatening everything you've worked to build.
Manage your resources carefully: food, water, and construction materials are scarce. Upgrade your facilities to improve your chances of survival and accelerate your progress toward a cure. Can you navigate the ethical dilemmas and tactical decisions required to save humanity? The fate of the world rests on your judgment.

A bit like papers please meets zombie apocalypse, its simple but fun to play. I recommend remembering the infection rate symptoms and working that out yourself, makes it a lot more engaging for me. Hopefully we'll see some more difficulty customization options in the future to add options like that. Great work!
