How to play

Controls

  • Police officers lock up the undisguised killers.
  • The virus infects everyone and has no antidote.

Hints

  • Place the hospital near the sick and away from the killers.
  • The killers lose the disguise when they leave the quarantine.

  1. OpenGL 2.1
  2. x86_64 Windows, GNU/Linux or macOS
  3. x86_64 SBCL or CCL

Credits

The game is written in Common Lisp for the Spring Lisp Game Jam 2020. It uses the trivial-gamekit framework by Pavel Korolev (borodust). Thanks for the help from the #lispgames IRC channel.

Graphics
The character sprites are emoji characters from Noto Color Emoji. I modified some a little with Gimp. Noto is a font family commissioned by Google, licensed under the SIL Open Font License. 👍
