An uncomfortable dystopian time-management game where your job is watching TV to earn money and buy services to survive after robots replace humans at work. Choose to be a good citizen or a rebel. But beware! Curiosity has a price in this dystopian life simulator.
Live in a dystopian society where your job is to watch TV to earn money and purchase services to satisfy your needs. Investigate your surroundings and choose whether to be a good citizen—or rebel. But remember: curiosity comes at a high price in this dystopian time management game.
You are a Class-2 citizen who gets a new home from the government and assigned to do a simple job: watch TV to earn your salary, and with it, buy the services you find convenient to survive and stay entertained. Would you choose to be a loyal citizen or a rebel against the system as you progress in different scenarios uncovering more about how the world works? Keep in mind that your actions will have consequences, and they will lead you to 14 possible endings.
Through daily government broadcasts, citizens will be informed about the evolution of society and receive new items to spend their earnings on. They can enjoy a comfortable existence—or risk breaking the rules and facing the consequences. But who ever said knowledge was free?
Dystopicon is a game inspired by literary classics like 1984, Brave new world, Ubik, and the video game Papers, please. Tells its story through gameplay, written messages, and comic-style sequences.
Anything can happen—who knows? You might even win the lottery… [insert canned Laughter]
