The Cure

Character from Plague Inc. by Ndemic Creations

The enemy — a rising blue progress bar representing the combined scientific, financial, and political will of a species fighting for survival.

Also known as: Cure Research, The Blue Bar, Global Research Effort

What They Know

• Research rate scales with disease severity, lethality, and the GDP of infected nations — visible, deadly diseases in rich countries accelerate the cure fastest
• Genetic Reshuffle abilities force researchers to start over, dramatically slowing progress
• Cold and heat resistance in the pathogen can slow research by making samples harder to study
• Once complete (100%), the cure deploys globally via aircraft — infected populations begin recovering
• Some pathogens have unique anti-cure mechanics: Prion's Neural Atrophy, Nano-Virus's Code Fragment Interception
