The Little Big Crisis

About

You play the head of the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial collapse. Your job is to tweak interest rates, approve bailouts, and manage economic policies to prevent total meltdown. Each decision ripples through markets, employment, and public trust. The interface leans on simple sliders and charts but hides complexity in balancing short-term fixes against long-term consequences. No combat or quests, just fiscal jenga. Players note the game’s sharp focus on real-world economic mechanics without dumbing them down. A small but dedicated audience on forums still debates optimal strategies years after release. Runs directly in browsers with no install. Best played with a basic understanding of how central banks function, though the manual covers basics. Short play sessions fit well between other tasks.
