HOW TO PLAY

☣ OBJECTIVE

Your goal is to evolve a deadly global pathogen and wipe out all of humanity before a cure can be developed and distributed. Start with Patient Zero, infect every country, and then finish off the world population.

🌎 GETTING STARTED

1. Select your pathogen type - each has unique strengths and weaknesses.

2. Name your plague and choose a starting country.

3. Watch as your disease begins to spread from Patient Zero.

🧬 DNA POINTS

Earn DNA points by infecting people. Click the orange DNA bubbles that appear on the map to collect bonus points. Spend DNA points to evolve your pathogen.

🔬 EVOLUTION

Transmission: Evolve how your disease spreads - through air, water, blood, or animals. More transmission means faster infection.

Symptoms: Evolve the effects on humans - from mild coughs to total organ failure. More severe symptoms increase lethality but also visibility.

Undo Symptoms: Purchased symptoms can be reversed for a partial DNA refund if people are dying too fast.

Abilities: Evolve resistance to heat, cold, and drugs. This helps your pathogen survive in different climates and resist cure efforts.

💊 THE CURE

Once your disease is detected, the world will begin working on a cure. Severe symptoms and high visibility speed up cure research, and cure pressure increases as the outbreak continues. You must stay ahead of the cure while balancing spread and lethality.

🏆 WINNING & LOSING

WIN: Infect every country first, then wipe out the entire world population.

LOSE: The cure is completed, your plague burns out, or humanity dies before your disease has infected the whole world.

Important: Symptoms can start killing while the plague is still spreading, so evolving lethal symptoms too early can make you lose the game.

💡 TIPS

- Start in a high-population, well-connected country for faster initial spread.

- Keep symptoms mild early to avoid detection.

- Kill too early and you can wipe out hosts before reaching every country.

- Evolve drug resistance to slow cure progress.

- Island nations with ports are harder to infect - plan accordingly!

- Balance transmission, symptoms, and abilities for maximum effectiveness.
