Reviews

“Have you seen how few resources are needed to talk about capitalism, technological isolationism and the extreme individualization of a society in which communities are lacking?”
Nivel Oculto

“It’s an interesting little game with multiple endings and a offers a dark analogy for how governments (not just authoritarian ones) try to control the public via media. Will you be a good, compliant citizen?”
Free Game Planet

“Dystopicon: television, capitalism and dystopia”

About This Game

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 life simulator.

Players take on the role of Class-2 citizens, rewarded with a small apartment and a very simple job: watching television. They’ll receive a paycheck based on the channels they choose to watch, and can spend their money on various services to make life more comfortable.

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, A happy world, and Ubik, and the video game Papers, please. Tells its story through gameplay, written messages, and comic-style sequences.
