Survival for 100 dollars

Mission briefing

Congratulations, you're the owner of a fortune of 100 dollars! Unfortunately, that's all you have. Welcome to a survival simulator set in harsh reality. In this game, you'll: Masterfully manage your budget: is "Doshirak" a delicacy or an everyday staple? Look for work in the urban-type settlement: from unloading train cars to carrying out dubious errands. Monitor your hunger, health, and mood (it's hard to be happy when your pocket is empty). Prove to everyone that you're an economic genius, capable of surviving where others give up. Your empire starts with a hundred-ruble note!

Field manual

Standard mouse controls: left-click on the desired abilities and make sure the character's health doesn't drop to 0.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for survival operations

Eat before you are hungry and drink before you are thirsty. Survival meters punish late reactions; the whole genre is a logistics exam disguised as an adventure.
Build the shelter before the project. A safe place to return to converts every expedition from a gamble into a commute, and commutes are how survival games get beaten.
Carry less, mark more. Inventory space is the real currency — leave the third backup of anything, and mark every resource you pass so future-you can run a supply route instead of a search party.
