The Score Update

Introducing the Score Update!

The Great Plague Exodus was always intended as a replayable game, with enough random events to cover two playthroughs without repeating and multiple options to form your family; The Great Plague Exodus was meant to be enjoyed again and again.

Following feedback from the player base, we've been working hard to implement a much loved feature from Silk Roads: Caravan Kings, a score system for the game. Now when you reach the end of the game, not only do you have a series of text boxes describing how each member of your family went forward with their lives after the game, you'll also be given a score based on family survival, total money and the value of the items in your inventory.

With this new score, you'll have a target for your next playthrough which can help you to experiment more, larger families means more points, but more bellies to feed means less money which means less points. Of course, there is still plenty to enjoy if leaderboards aren't your thing, and you can continue to survive in your own way. As always, it's all up to you!
