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.
