56k to Save the World

Dial-up incremental management

56k to Save the World is a PC incremental management comedy set inside a fictional 1990s desktop. Earth needs a 500 MB defense patch, but you’re downloading it over dial-up while Mom needs the phone. Connect, earn Baud and buy upgrades to keep the download moving.

Keeping the connection alive

Draggable windows, popups and unwanted software compete for your attention as you manage the desktop. Upgrade your modem and use antivirus software to automate ordinary popups. You can control the game with a mouse, keyboard or controller, and pause whenever you need.
