Directive 220

About the Game

You decide who gets electricity — and who doesn’t.

Directive 220 is a dark, atmospheric management game where you take the role of an energy dispatcher in a collapsing authoritarian regime. Every decision carries a cost. Hospitals, factories, the military, and civilians all demand power — but you will never have enough to satisfy everyone.

For fans of Papers, Please and political management games.

⚡ WHAT YOU DO

Each work shift, you must:

• Allocate limited power across competing sectors
• Respond to urgent incidents and incoming calls
• Balance grid stability, government pressure, and citizen survival
• Make irreversible decisions under constant time pressure

Every choice solves one problem — and creates another.

⚖️ IMPOSSIBLE DECISIONS

Prioritize critical infrastructure or follow political orders.
Keep the system stable — or protect the people.

You cannot save everyone.

📉 A SYSTEM UNDER PRESSURE

Balance three key forces:

• Grid stability
• Government trust
• Citizen satisfaction

Push too far in any direction, and the system begins to crack.

🔥 FEATURES

• Real-time decision-making under pressure
• Dynamic events and reactive phone calls
• Multiple outcomes based on your choices
• Retro-inspired UI and dystopian atmosphere
• Narrative-driven progression with daily consequences

🧠 CONSEQUENCES MATTER

Mistakes are remembered.
Patterns are noticed.

As pressure builds, your role becomes more dangerous — and more political.

How long can you keep the lights on?
