Going through the 60s trying to get to Mars
Interesting sandbox survival management game set in the early 60s when China was going through Cultural Revolution. The location is in a remote dessert with enough space for multiple factories and workers to build their way to Space. The game brings the player through the Cultural Revolution from the start with the Great Leap Forward (1958) focusing on industrialization. The player will then slowly go through the phases of revolution until ultimately they build a rocket. (I haven’t gotten that far yet.)
The game starts out with a book, therefore it makes sense to think of this as a diary, journaling the past, therefore the art style is worn and vintage looking. The details on every piece of paper are the most interesting part, all very simple and elegant. The art style suits the time period, whereby there was nothing too high tech, and everything was written in pen and paper. Big patches of color, NPCs have no faces, probably to represent Chinese culture of not standing out.
