A few hours into my first campaign in city-building survival game Frostpunk 2, I was asked whether I thought parents should be able to accompany their kids into quarantine. A mother had been waiting outside, desperate to sit with their unwell child. Relaxing the law could help my trust with the locals; however, it was a risk nonetheless. Ultimately, I thought it was fair to let them in. Within moments of this decision, I was notified the mother had died of the same disease with a second popup letting me hear the thoughts of their bereaved husband, who ‘wasn’t sure how they could manage without them.’
