[[START -> Wake up]]
<em> This game is text-based simulation of life around the end of the second decade of the 21th century from a millenials point of view.
The world burned. There was a virus and everything was closed.</em>
You wake up. It's another day during a global pandemic. In order to combat the airborne virus the public has been asked to stay home as much as possible. For an extra incentive shops, restaurants, gyms and cultural institutions are closed. I guess there is little left, but start your [[day->Start]].(set: $list1 to (array:"Forest fires continue burning along the west coast of the Americas",
"Another species of animal status turned to threatened",
"Forest fires continue burning in Australia",
"Massive droughts in parts of South East Asia",
"Floodings in Central Europe",
"Oil spill in ocean",
"Murder Hornets"))
(set: $list2 to (array:"Politician under investigation of racial profiling",

"Right wing politics on the rise in another part of the west",

(set: $relax to (array:"resting and relaxing","eating","binging a show","watching a movie","reading a book", "do yoga","playing a game"))What do you feel like doing?
[[ You read the news ->Read News]]
[[ You focus on work ->Be productive]]
[[ You do you! ->Be happy]]
(link-goto: "Title Passage")Well, what a day.
Let's go to [[bed.->Start]]
(link-goto:"Stop", "Title Passage")
As you scroll through today's news some headlines you come across are the nothing new, but nonetheless:
* (print: $list1's (random: 1,7)).
* (print: $list2's (random: 1,7)).
* (print: $list3's (random: 1,7)).
You feel somewhat engaged with the world's events and wonder whether you should [[continue->End of Day]] reading the news or do something else such as [[work->Be productive]] or [[chill->Be happy]].
(link-goto:"Beginning", "Title Passage") You work and are the productive member of society you are supposed to be.
-You are in a flow and [[continue working->End of Day]].
-You engage in some [[news->Read News]] reading.
-You don't mind taking a [[breather.->Be happy]]
(link-goto:"Beginning", "Title Passage")Enjoying yourself you ask yourself:
Should I continue (print: $relax's (random: 1,7)) till the end of the [[day->End of Day]] , perhaps catch up on the [[news->Read News]] or [[work->Be productive]].
