America, 2029. Artificial intelligence is accelerating, work is disappearing, the tax base is eroding, and the federal bargain is beginning to crack. Doom Loop: America is a political-economic strategy game about governing the United States through the automation shock of 2028–2038. Every six months, choose the major actions that will define the decade. Create a National Reconstruction Corps. Tax frontier AI. Reshore strategic production. Guarantee healthcare beyond employment. Renegotiate the relationship between Washington and the states. Every choice has a cost. Follow the American Doom Loop as automation changes employment, household security, government revenue, federal debt, political legitimacy, and regional cohesion. Texas, California, the industrial heartland, and other regional blocs do not respond to federal policy in the same way. FEATURES • Govern through twenty six-month turns • Choose from major work, tax, trade, AI, health, and federal policies • Manage political capital and election setbacks • Track effective unemployment, household security, debt, legitimacy, and cohesion • Watch six distinct regional fracture paths evolve • Face dynamic market and international reactions • Reach one of four national outcomes in 2038 • Play entirely offline with no account or advertising Can you preserve prosperity, democracy, and the Union while automation destroys the economic settlement holding them together? Doom Loop: America is a fictional strategy simulation. It is not a prediction, political endorsement, or source of professional advice.
