The old ethics problem about whether you're willing to sacrifice some people to save others is revisited here in The Potato Problem gameplay, where instead of deciding to flick switches to stop people being killed by a runaway trolley, you're frantically trying to change traffic lights, force cranes to drop their load and opening manhole covers in front of people!

Each level has a series of runaway vehicles ready to plough into a crowd of cute people, and your job in The Potato Problem gameplay is to minimise casualties. Most of the levels in this game jam build require you to save everyone, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

The Potato Problem was made for the Unreal Engine 4 Summer Jam 2017.
