MESOZOIKUM

Mesozoikum: Reactor Civilization

Profit. Power. Consequences.

Take control of an aging nuclear reactor in a world where profit matters more than safety and statistics can always be adjusted.

CONTROLLED MELTDOWN is a satirical nuclear management game where you oversee every aspect of a power plant: neutron density, temperature, cooling systems, power grids, personnel — and most importantly, how the truth is handled when things go wrong.

A small mistake? → Incident. Ignored warnings? → Partial meltdown. A really bad day? → Build a sarcophagus.

As long as the money keeps flowing, everything is… acceptable.

☢️ Core Features

🔧 Deep Reactor Management

Control rods, cooling loops, emergency power, venting & boric acid systems

Manual and automatic systems with real, cascading consequences

Balance stability, output and risk in real time

🚨 Crisis & Disaster Handling

Respond to incidents, system failures and core meltdowns

Decide when to intervene — and when to let things escalate

Not every disaster ends the game… some are just accounted for

🧠 Moral Choices Without Morality

Safety vs. profit

Personnel vs. expenses

Honesty vs. trust

Every decision affects reactor stability, public perception and your final balance sheet.

☭ Dark Humor & Political Satire

Sarcastic awards for “successful” catastrophes

Absurd dialogue with safety regulators

A world where loyalty is praised and consequences are negotiable

🏗️ Infrastructure & Expansion

Build fire brigades, generators, enrichment facilities and control rooms

Upgrade systems to prevent — or survive — failure

The reactor grows more complex… and more dangerous

🏁 Multiple Outcomes

Stable operation

Controlled catastrophe

Total systemic collapse

🏅 Awards
