Dystopicon

In Dystopicon, robots have completely taken over every job. You, a class 2 citizen, are housed in a government apartment and have only one thing to do: watch television to earn your wage, which you'll need to spend to access the services essential to your survival.

The game from Spanish development studio Palitroque is a dystopian time-management game with comic darkness, inspired by Philip K. Dick - particularly Ubik - and the mechanic of screens that capture attention like a form of currency. The retro-futuristic universe, the readable social satire, and the looping gameplay cycle set it apart from the wave of life simulators.

Progression unfolds across 6 scenarios (including a secret one), each offering choices that lead toward 14 different endings: model citizen, insurgent, bureaucrat, or worse. A no-distractions challenge mode is also offered to players eager to maximize their savings without a safety net.
