HOLOVA: a village-corruption simulator
A satirical Ukrainian mobile-game project where you play a village head trying to divert public money without provoking the community into revolt.
- For
- Players drawn to political satire and management games
- Worth noticing
- The demo starts with a village budget of 12.8 million hryvnias and adds 2,400 hryvnias per second in taxes.
Field notes
The browser demo makes the central trade-off legible: taxes accrue automatically, while appropriating funds increases public dissatisfaction. Listed projects have distinct costs and effects, including a 30,000-hryvnia road repair that reduces dissatisfaction by six percent. The fuller game is described as adding character-specific play styles, quests, estate development, and customs decisions; those elements are presented as features of the planned release.
