Green Line Goes Up: An Economic Simulator Game

Marianopolis ArtsFest 2023 · Arts and Sciences Integrative Project · MIT License · Play

How does the economy work? How do things get made? This game is an economic simulator where you are placed in the shoes of a government, managing a small, closed economy and trying to make their GDP go up. You will get to buy goods from the markets and use them to improve the productivity of their country. You can control the speed of the simulation to monitor it to the last detail: by going through different sections of the game, you will see the well-being and preference of each individual in your economy, the price of every type of good on the market, and the performance of each firm, all of which will be affected by your actions. On a race against time before inflation makes your investments worthless, as prices soar with every cent you spend, you must use your money to make good decisions: build the correct factories that together become long production chains, upgrade your firms to make them more efficient, and subsidise your corporations when they are out of cash. The green line is good. It must go up.
