Revision as of 23:59, 28 November 2021
Cure Mode is a game mode in which the player leads an international health organization attempting to save the world from a deadly disease outbreak in a realistic and powerful simulation inspired by real-world pandemic responses.[1]
Mechanics
- Investigation: Track the spread of disease and try to find patient zero.
- Control: Raise awareness to help the world through the crisis. Determine the best way to slow the disease and preserve your Authority.
- Quarantine: Lockdown countries or entire continents from borders to airports with heavy handed responses; without popular support, these will have significant consequences.
- Research: Study the disease and work towards a vaccine. Decide how much time you have to test its safety and efficiency.
- Economic Support: People won’t comply with poorly designed quarantine/lock down measures; use furlough schemes and other policies to drive community support and consensus.[2]
Task Force
The Task Force is the equivalent of Genetic Code for Cure Mode, players can recruit one of the members from their Task Force before they start their game. These advisers can help the vaccine development to be faster, better control the lockdown, prevent the plague from spreading to other countries.

Trivia
- This mode was created with the help of infectious disease experts, including CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations).[4]
- While scientific input was garnered from CEPI and other infectious disease experts, it is worth highlighting that Plague Inc: The Cure does not provide 100% accurate or realistic scenarios to the steps needed to be taken to end a pandemic threat, and the speed and scale at which they can be achieved. It is a game, not a scientific simulation.[2]
- The default disease name in cure mode is PAX-19, reusing PAX-12 (trailer/default disease name in standard mode) whilst referencing COVID-19.
- In cure mode, all of the virus pathogen's traits are some of COVID-19's: coughing, sneezing, pneumonia, fever, systemic infection, asymptomatic and well understood.
- Cure Mode currently does not feature any Special Plagues.
- You Can't Decrease Fatality Rate In Prion Because It's Infinite
