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.
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.
Prioritize critical infrastructure or follow political orders.
Keep the system stable — or protect the people.
You cannot save everyone.
Balance three key forces:
• Grid stability
• Government trust
• Citizen satisfaction
Push too far in any direction, and the system begins to crack.
• 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
Mistakes are remembered.
Patterns are noticed.
As pressure builds, your role becomes more dangerous — and more political.
