About this Game

Learn to Die is a game about sacrificing intelligent citizens to ensure your dictatorship.
Make the right choices and kill off citizens who are smart enough to see through your totalitarianism.
Beware, spotted kills have consequences...!

Scenario and Goal

_Note:_ *The following text can also be found in-game*

November 1962. The international commitee plans on conducting a unified test of intelligence in
every country of the world in 10 years. The in comparison smartest country will receive
unlimited funding on every project planned. You are leading a dictatorship and your interest
in citizen espionage is big - the only thing missing is funding for a secret surveillance
program...

Tutorial

_Note:_ *The following text can also be found in-game*

- Have the highest average intelligence (range 1 to 6) of all countries by November 1972.

- Upgrade buildings to speed up learning process of citizens and generate more money. Click on a building to display options and information.

- Every citizen is working at a work facility and studying at a school facility.

- Citizens with an intelligence of 5 or greater have a chance of seeing through your dicatorship and will try to emigrate(signalized by an exclamation mark over their head).

- Have a citizen killed for ☭200 by clicking on him. This ensures that the average intelligence of an other country won't rise.

- If the kill is spotted (by a nearby citizen), intelligence of all citizens is raised by +0.4 and you will get a penalty of ☭500.

- Click on the monument to view your current status.

Graphics are great, system is great. I love the style. I try to kill all those with exclamation mark but it costs a lot lol. I want more building to enhance. The music was great too. Good job !

Love the music. Keeping track of citizens + resources/upgrades keeps things interesting. Great work!
