# The Butterfly Effect: Game Concept

Welcome to "The Butterfly Effect," a thought-provoking game that explores the profound impact of seemingly small actions. Step into the shoes of a weapon factory worker and witness the far-reaching consequences of your choices.
## Game Overview
In this immersive experience, you will navigate a single workday in a weapon factory. Each decision you make and every weapon you produce sets off a chain reaction, symbolized by the flight of butterflies across a world map. As the game unfolds, you'll see how these butterflies, representing the events triggered by the weapons, create a ripple effect that ultimately reaches your own city.
## Game Sections

Begin your journey by making a crucial choice:
- **Continue Working**: Stay on the production line and see the impact of your work.
- **Resign**: Walk away and observe the world without your influence.
### 2. Game Section
Engage in a simple yet captivating production line simulation:
- Produce weapons and watch as butterflies take flight on the screen.
- Each butterfly represents an event caused by a weapon.
- As more butterflies appear, they become increasingly difficult to control.
- Eventually, the butterflies reach your own city, illustrating the global impact of your actions.
- More weapons produced lead to more butterflies, creating a chaotic and thought-provoking experience.
### 3. Final Section
Reflect on the consequences of your decisions:
- Witness the domino effect created by the weapons you produced.
- Experience the chaos visualized through the swarm of butterflies.
- Understand the profound implications of your initial choice.
