CricSim puts you in charge of a cricket team and lets you take it as far as you can. Pick a franchise in the Indian T20 League, or lead a nation on the world stage. Draft your squad, work out your best eleven, and find out whether your plan survives contact with match day. THREE FORMATS, PLAYED PROPERLY T20, ODI and Test cricket, each with its own rhythm. Test matches run over five days and three sessions, so you can declare, enforce the follow on, or dig in and save the draw. ODIs give you the powerplay and the death overs. T20 brings the impact sub and the super over. TWO WAYS TO BUILD A CAREER Take a franchise through a full league season, fourteen rounds and into the playoffs. Or manage a national side through a world tournament, or a bilateral series of one, three or five matches against a single rival. DRAFT THE SQUAD YOU WANT Start with the current squads, or open the mega draft and build yours from scratch. Want something bigger? Draft from pools of all time greats in T20, ODI or Test cricket. Then name your captain, your vice captain and your keeper. CALL EVERY BALL, OR NONE OF THEM Step into the match hub and run it yourself. Set the aggression, choose your bowler, decide who walks in after a wicket. Or hand it to the engine and come back for the scorecard. MAKE THE NAMES YOUR OWN Export the player list, rename anyone you like in a spreadsheet, and bring it back in. Your squad, your names. KEEP THE DYNASTY GOING Follow the table, watch your net run rate, pore over the season stats. Decide who to keep between seasons and who to let go. Then go again. No ads. No pay to win. Just cricket.

Britain, 2029. Artificial intelligence is accelerating, secure work is disappearing, local government is failing, and the constitutional settlement is beginning to crack. Doom Loop: United Kingdom is a political-economic strategy game about governing the UK through the automation shock of 2028–2038. Every six months, choose the major actions that will define the decade. Create a British Renewal Service. Share work through a four-day transition. Tax automation rents and land. Rebuild regional industry. Draw closer to Europe. Renegotiate the balance between Westminster, the devolved nations, and England’s regions. Every choice has a cost. Follow the British Doom Loop as automation changes employment, household security, tax revenue, public debt, political legitimacy, and Union cohesion. Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, London, and England’s regional economies do not convert economic pain into constitutional pressure in the same way. FEATURES • Govern through twenty six-month turns • Choose from major work, tax, trade, AI, welfare, and constitutional policies • Manage political capital and general-election setbacks • Track effective unemployment, security, debt, legitimacy, and cohesion • Watch six distinct regional and national fracture paths evolve • Face dynamic market, European, American, and global reactions • Reach one of four national outcomes in 2038 • Play entirely offline with no account or advertising Can you create a new economic settlement before automation turns regional abandonment into national exit? Doom Loop: United Kingdom is a fictional strategy simulation. It is not a prediction, political endorsement, or source of professional advice.
