Evacuation Simulation Game Becomes National Obsession

A low-budget mobile game called "Tehran Evacuation Simulator" has skyrocketed to #1 in Iran�s app stores, offering players the fantasy of actually escaping the city. Features include bribing checkpoint guards, scavenging gas, and crying quietly. The game is notorious for being nearly unwinnable. "I made it three blocks before emotional collapse," said one player. Critics praise the realism. The government attempted to ban it, but then half the parliament was caught playing. A multiplayer version is in development titled "Exodus Royale."
