Inspired by literary classics like 1984, Brave New World, and Ubik, the satirical world of Palitroque’s Dystopticon is now available for the PC via Steam.
Told through gameplay, written messages, and comic-style sequences, Dystopticon is a dystopian time management game that has players taking on the role of Class-2 citizen as they dig deeper to find the truth.

Juan Felipe Molina, Game Director and Lead Developer, said the following:
“I have always loved dystopian stories, and I am a huge fan of the great classics, especially the works of Philip K. Dick.
In his novel Ubik, the protagonist has to insert a coin into different household devices in order to use them, and I really liked that idea.
I needed another mechanic to justify why the player would earn money, and I started thinking about TV and social media, and how they keep people glued to screens.
What could be the next step? Getting paid for doing exactly that!”
Juan Felipe Molina added:
“Once I had those two elements (being paid to watch TV and using that money to buy services), I started building the rest of the game.
I eventually finished the prototype with a 28-day gameplay loop where the player had to survive by watching TV and reading daily reports sent by the government.
Then the pandemic arrived, and people found themselves locked at home, watching screens, and in many cases receiving government support to help them deal with the situation.”
One can get Dystopticon via its official Steam page – a demo is also available!
