I belive that there's more in this game, I would take out the "money" and put "resources", also I would put more detail in the people, there would be some people who wouldnt like the "racist guy with lots of resources" but maybe you need him for building the ark. It would be interesting to see what relations are the best one's to keep the ark in "armony". I think you could hook the player better with characters that goes beyond good and bad, maybe the poet is a drug addict that boost morale, but needs a drug dealer that cause disarray.
This game can be explored more and its awesome, thanks for sharing it! :)
