Youâd think that, in the wake of last yearâs London riots, developers would be wary of making a game based on civil disturbance, even when you consider its a topic rarely covered by games anyway

Their game is all about mapping the spread of unrest, as players drop some âinfectedâ people onto the streets then guide them around as they collect more and more followers. Thatâs about it, but a great âpapercraftâ art style and differentiations in the cute mini-London being portrayed (thereâs more traffic and people on the streets at rush hour, for example) sound like itâll be wide open for experimentation.
âOne of the original ideas was âI wanna be a disease and I want to infect the whole world.'â, director James Boty tells Rock Paper Shotgun. âAnd various people have done that on global levels, like Pandemic but the thing is that itâs not at this level. Itâs the model train set thing. Weâve all had that thing where you wanna fuck up your toys as a kid.â
Apparently the game wonât just feature civil disturbances, but the option to drop in zombies as well. Excellent
