Every wondered what it might be like if you were single-handedly responsibly for the end of the world as we know it?

The game will ask you which hospital you might go to if you began to feel unwell, which pharmacy you might head to in order to pick up your meds, which country you might fly out to if your home country became unstable, and just how quickly all of those actions would ultimately result in society's apocalypse.

Based on Open Street Map, NASA open source data and IATA Flight routes, with input from emergency risk specialists and public service employees, Collapse features more than 3800 cities worldwide, home of 95% of the population. The user can compare different scenarios by choosing another epicenter or by making different choices in the simulator, and find the most vulnerable and the safest cities.
