Survive the Week

A normal working week in Aotearoa should not feel like a boss fight. Right now it does.

This microgame puts you through five ordinary days under the current rules, then replays the exact same week with Alliance policies in place. Same worker. Same week. Different rules.

How it works

  1. Play one week under the current system.
  2. Replay the same week with Alliance policies active.
  3. Compare what changed, then share it.

Darkly funny. Pointed at the system. Not at the people living through it.

If life feels harder than it should, that is because it is.

The interactive version needs JavaScript. The politics do not: rent controls, free healthcare, secure work, public ownership, and fair taxation would change the rules working people are stuck with now.

Playable argument

Same week. Two different governments.

Keep an eye on four meters: money, time, stress, and hope.

Week seed loading

The week is loading

You are trying to get through five ordinary days without losing money, time, hope, or the last nerve you had set aside for emergencies.

What changes the week

Alliance policies do not hand out miracles. They change the rules.

That means fewer ordinary crises, less money burned on essentials, and more room for working people to breathe.

Housing that serves people

Rent controls, secure tenure, Healthy Homes enforcement, and public housing at scale stop landlords treating housing like a casino chip.

Housing and social services

Free healthcare and public services

Healthcare should not be a budgeting problem. Neither should basic transport and public services that people rely on every day.

Free healthcare for all

Secure work, fair pay, strong unions

When employers cannot keep profits up by grinding workers down, rosters stabilise, wages rise, and pushback stops being a luxury.

Workers rights and economic development

Public ownership and tax fairness

Power, transport, and essential assets should serve people. Wealth should shoulder more of the tax burden so wages are not carrying the whole country.
