In Contents Under Pressure, players assume the position of a senior engineer at a large chemical plant. They’ll make multiple binary decisions a day, weighing the chemical plant’s output, its safety, their own time, and their reputation. In the first few days, players will get a mix of rote and minimally difficult decisions to make. As they continue to play, the intensity of the decisions will escalate as it’s revealed that a catastrophic hurricane system is impending and can stand to ruin the plant. The player will receive information every day from the cast of characters that surround them. They’ll use this information, their own risk management thinking, and the realities of running a chemical plant to lead an effective plant.
