The Resort lies at the edge of the red sea and the desert. It is a closed system that sustains itself as far as possible through the work of the residents, which get paid with a free holiday in return. Like that it has little influence on the local environment and community. The Holiday is ruled by a charismatic artificial intelligence which motivates the people and keeps them in line.
Work
Holiday
There are different categories of work, the more time you spent at the Resort, the higher you move up the “career ladder”. You might start as a servant, then become a construction or factory worker, move up to a cooking or child care job and finally become a guard. Guards are helpers of the Leader and are there to guarantee a smooth life at the Resort. They have the right to command other residents within the direct orders of the Leader. To create motivation the best workers can access special VIP areas. the worst ones lose free time or move back to a lower working class.
During your free time, you can relax at the pool, the beach, a cocktail bar, or the club. The leader suggests nice events that meet your interests and match you up with people who you might like, either romantically or platonic whatever you are looking for. There are also fun group activities like games and workshops which are led by workers from a high working class. The free time is an important moment to strengthen the community and turn work acquaintances into friendships. This enforces the emotional connection to the Resort.

The Leader
The Resort is ruled by an algorithmic leader. He appears through screens, speakers, and chats. The AI learns about your behavior, character, and wishes so that he can become exactly the kind of fatherly figure that you need. By making you feel like he knows and understands you he will gain your trust. To the residents, it stays unclear if the Leader is a real person or not. He is strict but empathetic, charismatic, and omnipresent. Through psychological tricks he makes you emotionally dependent, to make you happily willing to follow his orders. You will want to do your best at work to make him and the community proud. This guarantees that everyone can have a great time at the Holiday Resort.
The Leaders character is based on the charismatic personalities of sect leaders of communities like the Oscho Movement, Colonia Dignidad, or Jones Town. People followed them, even into suicide.
