What to make next?
The Simulation game provides a flexible timetable for players. On average players spend 7,5 hours with the simulation, dividing the 23 scenes to 2-3 weeks. To put it into another context: it is like you watch 1 season of your favourite TV series on a weekend. There is the opportunity to play the scenes again and make different decisions, which will result in another turns in the story line.
