What is Plague Inc.?

Plague Inc. is a real-time strategy/simulation video game developed and published by UK-based independent games studio Ndemic Creations. In Plague Inc, the player creates and evolves a pathogen in an effort to annihilate the world's population with a deadly plague. The game uses an epidemic model with realistic variables like infectivity, virulence, symptom mutations, and region-specific statistics to simulate the devastating effects and challenging complexity of real-world pandemic infections.

Gameplay in Plague Inc involves choosing and unlocking different disease types like bacteria, viruses, fungal pathogens, parasites, nano-viruses, and bio-weapons. The player then strategically evolves traits like symptoms, abilities, and resistances while spreading infection across the simulated world. Victory is achieved when the player wipes out all humans on Earth. Along the way, the player must adapt to attempts by various global authorities to fight back through research, medication, quarantine, and public health campaigns. As disease progression continues, in-game graphs and statistics illustrate the rapid rate of infection and death.

With its compelling infection modeling and strategic evolution mechanics, Plague Inc provides an engaging and high-quality pandemic simulator for gamers interested in a unique challenge. The game has seen over 120 million players worldwide and remains one of the most popular paid mobile games eight years after its initial release.
