Road to Cheburnet vs Doom Loop

Early 2000s. The Internet is growing by leaps and bounds, and is becoming available to more and more people. It is impossible to leave such a dangerous phenomenon unattended — and the state entrusts you, a nameless employee of the censorship department, with an important mission. You must take control of the entire network — at any cost. - Pass laws in the rubber stamp parliament: from censorship in the name of child protection to banning foreign resources and surveillance; - Keep up with technological advances that help you circumvent your bans; - Buy, shut down or destroy Internet companies you can reach. There are only 25 years to realize and time is running out. Are you ready to destroy the free internet? ******* The game is developed in collaboration with eQualitie, a not-for-profit company that develops open solutions to support freedom of expression and association online.
