Dystopicon

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.
