Baby Bust is a free, phone-first story game about Taiwan's family policy, playable in any browser in English and Traditional Chinese: https://lavenhill.github.io/baby-bust/

Policies for Taiwan's low birth rate are usually debated as budgets and headlines. In daily life, each policy helps some people and shifts its cost onto others: preschool teachers, owners of small private preschools, coworkers who cover shifts. Baby Bust puts both sides in the same photo.

You play Vivian, a contract worker running social media for a fictional government office from 2018 to 2026. Each year a real policy launches, and its photo has two halves: the people it helps and the classmate who pays for it. You can publish only one half. Crop out a classmate and they fade to grey and may eventually leave the class group chat; refuse, and your boss rejects the post and your own life fades frame by frame. Every choice costs someone. Each run makes 7 choices out of 10 policy scenes (128 possible paths) and ends at a 2026 class reunion with a sky lantern.

After the ending, a sources page shows the real policy, news report or survey behind every scene: 134 checked sentences from 91 references, each with a local archive copy. Fictional office, real policies, non-partisan.
