Plague Inc.

Plague Inc. is a strategic simulation game where players take control of a pathogen with the goal of infecting and eliminating humanity. Starting with 'Patient Zero,' players must evolve their plague while adapting to humanity's defensive measures. Developed by Ndemic Creations, the game features a hyper-realistic world with advanced AI, 12 different disease types, and over 50 countries to infect. Players can evolve hundreds of traits and respond to thousands of world events in their quest for global infection. The game's scientific accuracy has earned recognition from major institutions, with the developer being invited to speak at the CDC and partnering with the WHO during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notable features include comprehensive tutorials, full save/load functionality, expansion updates introducing new pathogen types like the Neurax Worm and Necroa Virus, and a recent addition allowing players to experience the opposite challenge of saving humanity from a deadly plague.
