What if POOLS and SEVERANCE had a baby? IGN just posted my indie game trailer : )

Thank you for the kind words. I always had an idea for a game about Milgram and ethical dilemmas. I remember being on a set for a movie with a lot of time between takes and thinking about the script. That was 2-3 years ago. I started serious work this summer with the script and made the demo in 4 months. Around 30% of the game is done. The main inspiration is the book Obedience to Authority by Milgram himself and some videos by Alex O'Connor where he talks about morality and moral dilemmas. For the actual cases in the game I researched some real world horrible people and decided to borrow parts of their life. Of course names and details have been changed so they won't sue lol
Damn, awesome work getting it together so quickly. It looks awesome

Thank you! Yeah, once you get the basic concept and prototype right, after that it's a bit easier. After the demo is out I'm back to work on the full game : )

I'm curious, is there any incentive to play along? I've played games that make you choose between two rough decisions, but you're stuck choosing. If you just choose not to, the game stalls and there's no outside influence other than your boredom to get you to continue. Does this game have something forcing your character?

I played the playtest for this game and absolutely loved it. I have it wish listed and can't wait for the full release. Also made me watch the documentary on YouTube which is also really good

Thank you! The documentary is amazing and I re-watched it several times while developing the game.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but you get different ending, depending on the choices you make (or refuse to make).

YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO VOLUNTEER…

Are there jumpscares?

Yeah, that's exactly it. I was wondering if there were consequences for refusing to go along with it. Thanks!

Yeah hah, there is something about this line that defines the game for me. One of the first ones I wrote when doing the script

No, not in the traditional sense. I don't want to spoil anything else.

It’s in the family of paradoxical/recursive humour I truly enjoy.
Kinda like: “I’m the humblest person on Earth!” and “You’re no true Novellist! You can’t exclaim about exclamations!”

Dude. I remember seeing your first post about this game. It’s so cool seeing it get this far. Congrats!

Looks good - will it be playable on Steam Deck?
