About the Game

What Could Go Wrong? 🧪💥  

A one-staff budget bio-lab sim where science is cheap, ethics are optional, and disaster is... inevitable.

Welcome to "What Could Go Wrong?", the dangerously underfunded bio-lab management game where you're the only thing standing between scientific progress and global annihilation. No pressure!

Build your lab on a shoestring budget, juggle moral dilemmas, and see how long you can keep the world from catching fire (literally).

Your Highly Questionable Job Includes:

- 🔬 Splicing exotic pathogens — because the world definitely needs a chickenpox-zombie hybrid.

- 💰 Stretching your budget — top-tier containment tech or more duct tape? Decisions, decisions.

- 😬 Managing sudden outbreaks — who could've predicted this totally unforeseen incident?

- 🛠️ Cutting shady deals — ethically gray governments, morally bankrupt megacorps... friends?

Core Features:

🧪 Dubious Science — Theoretical, experimental, and occasionally catastrophic.  

🤔 Moral Mayhem — Profit vs. public safety: pick one (or neither).  

🌍 Unintended Consequences — A small lab accident may or may not trigger global panic.  

😂 Dark Humor — Because if the world's ending, at least it should be funny.

Disclaimer:

May include:

- Ethical compromises  

- Mild to severe apocalypse  

- Dubious funding sources  

- Highly infectious fun

💉 "What Could Go Wrong?"  

The only game where "Oops" is a project milestone.

🚨 Coming soon! (Pending incident reports... and legal review.)
