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.

India, 2029. Artificial intelligence is accelerating, formal work cannot absorb the workforce, household insecurity is spreading, and uneven state capacity is testing the federal bargain. Doom Loop: India is a political-economic strategy game about governing the republic through the automation shock of 2028–2038. Every six months, choose the major actions that will define the decade. Guarantee livelihoods in cities and districts. Build a national skills and apprenticeship mission. Turn the digital public stack into a citizen dividend. Shift GST toward post-labour revenue. Build green manufacturing. Give states a binding role in national delivery. Every choice has a cost—and scale changes every choice. Follow the Indian Doom Loop as automation changes employment, household security, the tax base, public debt, political legitimacy, and federal cohesion. The northern heartland, southern states, industrial west, eastern mineral belt, Northeast, and fast-growing corridors respond differently to the same national policy. FEATURES • Govern through twenty six-month turns • Choose from major livelihood, skills, tax, trade, digital, and federal policies • Manage political capital and Lok Sabha election setbacks • Track effective unemployment, security, debt, legitimacy, and cohesion • Watch six distinct state and regional pressure paths evolve • Face dynamic reactions from capital, China, the United States, and the Global South • Reach one of four national outcomes in 2038 • Play entirely offline with no account or advertising Can you convert automation into mass capability before economic exclusion overwhelms federal consent? Doom Loop: India is a fictional strategy simulation. It is not a prediction, political endorsement, or source of professional advice.
