Crisis events require the player to make especially difficult decisions. These decisions affect the law or policies of the shelter’s inhabitants, and almost every ally will lose or gain mood when you make these decisions. If you have authority figures in the school, they will want to recommend a course of action and depending on how well they respect you or if you consider their advice, they may be able to persuade other allies that you made the right choice and give you an additional mood and morale boost or loss depending on their reaction.
For example, one crisis involves the supply of antibiotics running low and dealing with the school’s infected allies. You might want to make finding antibiotics a priority or give them to a few key people, or kick the infected out, but it’s not an easy decision and some people are going to die, some will hate you, and some will think you run a tight ship.
