Overview

About this game

The year is 1999.

As chaos looms on the horizon, reports flood in of gigantic monsters, zombie plagues, interdimensional portals, and various supernatural disasters unfolding worldwide. You, a military leader from a small island nation, are tasked with a simple yet daunting mission: Save as many civilians as possible before the clock strikes 2000.

Welcome to your Y2K Directive.

SURVIVE: Navigate through this apocalyptic year, rescuing civilians from endangered cities and deploying your troops to stem the tide of horrors.

ADAPT: Leverage the terrain, day and night cycles, and weather to your advantage. Train your troops, rebuild destroyed bases and power plants, and establish refugee camps for civilians. Keep panic and civil unrest at bay.

OVERCOME Every problem has a solution. Utilize your troops not just for combat but also to reduce panic. Manage your economy and infrastructure with precision to save your country from impending doom.

This strategic civil defense simulation, inspired by classic games like XCOM/UFO with roguelike elements, guarantees endless possibilities to test your skills. In each playthrough, a new scenario is generated. Zombies? Alien fauna? Kaijus? Maybe all of them (and more) at once? Choose your preferred settings, or let the random generator surprise you. Will you withstand the test, or let your country fall into chaos and anarchy?
