In Dystopicon the players will live in a dystopian society in which they receive money to watch TV. With that money they pay services to cover their basic needs. Throughout the game they will discover the details of this dystopia in which the government monitors your movements but gives you freedom of choice. The story will be told through gameplay, texts and comics. In this demo you can try the basic mechanics and the main context of the story: The Trinity, riots, the Automatic Euthanasia Machine, the job lottery and the TV mechanic. The game will be expanded as we finish the different development milestones. Thank you for playing Dystopicon! Justice and work!Demo available in: https://overmolo.itch.io/dystopicon
I liked very much. The context and the story is pretty interesting.
I've selected "Tutorial/Learning Curve" as the "needs most work" only because I have to choose one option but I think it's ok right now.
It's an interesting game, most than I thought.
You're right, the game has some problems when you get the mechanic. It is repetitive and boring and players need something to do to keep the interest. I'm working on that.
Yes, there's downsides for watching different channels but it's unclear for players. I'll improve that too.
Thank you very much for your feedback, your suggestions are very useful. You definitely hit the point.
PS: the package starts a parallel narrative but it's not included in the demo
Yes, that's true. First time narrative can be interesting for players but after that, the game is repetitive and boring. Players need something to do to keep the interest. I'm working on that.
And you are right: there's downsides for watching different channels but it's not very clear for players. I need to improve this.
