At an international school in Jakarta, a teacher pushes a graduating class through a high-stakes thought experiment: if a nuclear apocalypse hit, only a limited number of people could survive in an underground shelter.

About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a talky, twisty survival-ethics puzzle that sparks debate more than action, similar in vibe to Automata; Not for you if you need airtight logic or nonstop thrills.

Pros: fresh thought-experiment hook; suspenseful scenarios; keeps you guessing | Cons: shaky logic at times; uneven acting for some; ending feels obvious
