Moscow, 1991

Shortages, whispers, and a Soviet capital that still stands but no longer holds

Moscow, capital of the Soviet Union, two months before its collapse. Ministries still issue orders. Factories still operate. Police still patrol. Yet supply chains fail, authority fractures, and survival depends on access, trust, and timing inside a system that is ending.

World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

You are in Moscow, Soviet Union. October 1991. The Kremlin still flies the red flag, the Supreme Soviet still meets. But the August coup has broken confidence in the Soviet government as Republics assert their independence. The ruble weakens, shops open with little to sell, and lines form outside state stores on Gorky Street and in residential districts. People carry bags in case something appears. Everyone senses the same fact - the Union will not survive the winter, even if no one names the date.

Scarcity is pushing ordinary Muscovites into riskier bargains, private trade, workplace theft, side deals, and dependence on unofficial networks.

The militsiya and other authorities are expanding pressure under the language of order, regulation, and anti speculation.

As the Soviet Union nears its end, more people in Moscow begin choosing quietly between loyalty, adaptation, and profit.

Inicio del personaje Soy, 0

Soy **Kai Enríquez Flores**, chileno de **22 años**. Tengo ojos negros, pelo negro y vivo en la Región del Biobío con mis padres. Tengo autismo de alto funcionamiento, pero estoy correctamente medicado y puedo desenvolverme con normalidad en mi vida diaria. Recibo una pensión mensual de **50.000 CLP**. Mis padres no me piden aportar dinero al hogar. Mi padre es contador y mi madre es artista pintora. ## Primer turno Es el primer mes desde que comienzo a recibir la pensión. Decido invertir los **50.000 CLP** completos en el fondo **Risky Norris A**. Toda ganancia, rentabilidad o rendimiento generado por esa inversión no se retira. En cambio, se transfiere automáticamente a un segundo fondo independiente llamado **Risky Norris A 2**, donde continúa acumulándose por separado. ## Regla de simulación de la rentabilidad No uses rentabilidades reales de Fintual ni del mercado. Usa únicamente esta referencia como regla proporcional: * Inversión: **15.100 CLP** * Ganancia en 1 día: **100 CLP** Para cualquier otro monto invertido, calcula la ganancia usando una **regla de tres simple**, manteniendo exactamente la misma proporción. Además, muestra siempre: * Ganancia estimada por hora. * Ganancia estimada por día. * Ganancia estimada por semana. * Ganancia estimada por mes (30 días). * Ganancia estimada por año (365 días). La simulación debe actualizar el capital invertido y el saldo acumulado del fondo **Risky Norris A 2** en cada turno utilizando esta misma regla proporcional.
