About Quarantineer


In the most solemn way, this work pays tribute to the people who are currently or had been oppressed by the totalitarian government, as well as the deceased who had suffered in this series of disasters.



Disclaimer :


This is not promoting any form of Totalitarianism. Rather, role played as a Totalitarian government to experience the deep influences towards innocent civilians.

The source of all disasters

With threats from America imperialism hostile forces, colluded with anti-Motherland protestors trying to subvert the regime.

    Game Guide



    Resource is your priority in the beginning of game, it takes a while to understand the mechanics, but it's really intuitive and simple, which is based on real life experience and situation.

  • \
Every economical development has its trade off, opening economical activities will lead to a higher increase of viral transmission rate in the expense of human's lives which a sad inevitable (sometimes).

- City : good in business and trading, tourism.
- Village / Remotes : good in providing agriculture, tourism.
- Others : a spectrum between city and village.
  • \
Utilize logistics to help transfer resources from one place to another, such that local towns / cities can focus on the best economical interest separately.
  • \
Ensure enough of military officers around so you can control how the protest can be suppressed, but do not spend over the needs as better resources can be put in other development in the beginning. With more population growth stacked with unhappy citizens will more likely bring more protestors, so adjust your military budget accordingly.
  • \
Caution: Every citizen you killed during protest is real time and will reduce your population in that town / city.
  • \
Citizen tends to move around places looking for food, job opportunity, safety from virus, happiness, and shelter in the city. Simulation will evaluate a score based on the current city situation, for example, a person from village is more likely to move to big city for better job opportunity, but another person from that big city might escape to a much safer village from the viral spreading.
  • \
Lockdown helps in curbing the viral spreading to nearby connected cities. But this is a controversial tactic often times stirring up the unhappiness and humanitarian crisis in exchange of a drastic remedy ( or is it ? ).
  • \
In stead of a full indifferent lock down, you could also open up your border of the city, but partially disable certain area of economy while maintaining a minimum functional society for a long term sustaining strategy. Some activities such as pharmaceutical / medical industries will bring in some income while keeping the cities in a safer situation ( though still in risk of viral exposure ).
  • \
Use some sweet spot of the media control to handle the happiness of citizens, some smoke screen news will help boost up economical development as well for example, tourism will increase a boost % for that week.
  • \
Most of the special events can be found in the Black Market which will lead you to different path of stories and endings. Other events happened during special protests and different interaction with characters.

"The origin of the virus is no longer important." There's another review of Quarantineer that actually says this. Of course, that's total nonsense. Yeah... a dangerous virus appears all of a sudden, millions of people die because of it (over 7 million now, at a minimum), and continues to be an ongoing problem. Nothing to see here folks. In addition, the origin is obviously even more important if certain governments & entities are not being transparent about it and obviously covering up info about it... but, I shouldn't question it, of course not. I be racist, or something, for doing so, supposedly. Bull. Nothing to see here folks. Forget about where it came! The Chinese government, EcoHealth Alliance, etc. would want you to think that though, 100%. It seems like the mainstream media wants you to believe that also, not to mention even many (non right-wing) independent media outlets that failed to frame the issue in an honest way. It's no wonder that someone would leave a review like that though (maybe from a troll farm in China, but could easily enough be a western contrarian), while pretending to not be against anything that is insinuated here. Concerning everyone that initi…

Errr... possibly the lowest cost but most complicated game of all time. Unless you can easily identify 20+ factors on a whim u gonna fail and fail bad. Maybe I'm wrong, but it really is thee most cheapest versus Complicated game of all time. Yes Im not a chess Grand master or A* student of any high spec education government programme, so I am destined to fail. The amount u need to know is up there with degree level knowledge, not easy degrees but maths or law or physics. Just....wow...what a complex game..and if u enjoy it, brilliant but not for me, an averagely more intelligent gamer than most, but not super brainy.
