International Monetary Fun
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Ever wondered what it's like to be the head of the world's most important financial institution? Ever thought that you can run the world better than the shmucks doing it right now? Ever stayed up late researching international financial institutions and being upset they never made games about things you were interested in? Well, International Monetary Fun (IMFun) is the game for you!
Step into the shoes of the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund and try to slow down the world quickly revolving around you. Approve projects, negotiate defaults, and watch election results as you experience the utter banality of the day-to-day decisions which affect the lives and deaths of tens of millions.
IMFun features...
- Almost-completely randomized events every single run, where two runs starting from the same time and place can diverge wildly into completely different futures.
- Biting analysis of contemporary economic, climate, and political issues.
- Excellent writing, ranging from placid cynicism to bewildered confusion depending on your actions.
- 7 different endings, ranging from climate catastrophe to Communist World Revolution, and even the elusive "New World Order" ending...
- A secret gambling minigame.
- 8 different types of coups!
Don't take my word for it! Check out these reviews:

=== FOR LINUX BUILD ===
In order to start this executable, users may have to use the following command:
$ chmod +x ~/path/to/IMFun
For Linux users who somehow don't know how to run a Linux executable, just do:
$ ./path/to/IMFun
POSSIBLE ERRORS:
- If the game says it is unable to run because the "playsound" module isn't install, then install it through the following command:
$ pip install playsound
- If this fails to install however, the following sequence of commands should most likely fix the issue
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel
$ pip install playsound
If any other bugs are noticed, then either contact me (s_dedalus on Discord), or Gwen (who did the Linux version) through Discord (gwf_hegel), Twitter (@4BCommunist), or email (gwenhasswog@gmail.com).
