In Monthly Dystopia, you need to find a way to survive in an authoritarian world. You can serve the dictatorship by being a model citizen or you can try to flee the country by cooperating with the Resistance. You live under a regime in which love is forbidden and using words banned by the Party is punishable by death. Choose your words wisely if you don't want to commit a thought crime. Remember, there's always a screen watching you. The paycheck from your job at the ministry editing the past is barely enough to buy the food needed to keep you alive, so it is crucial that you find a way to flee this dystopia where even thinking is forbidden. You can serve as a loyal citizen, fall in love and constantly fear getting caught, work with the Resistance against the dictatorship, and choose freedom or servitude. The daily tasks you perform in your apartment are your only way to survive. Remember that your time is just as limited as your supplies. You'll have to choose between cooking before going to work, taking medication for your illness, or doing activities that benefit your mental state. You can try to protect the people around you by making conscientious decisions or you can escape this dystopia by sacrificing them.

Like the White Door, it has a very sharp aesthetic and a very clear philosophical point of view. It’s not a “fun” game, per se — more of a narrative experience about life in a totalitarian state. It does have a plot and your main objective is set up early on, which I really like. Games like this, however, very much embrace the grind; in fact, it’s kind of the point. What makes something like this work for me is how the story ends up disrupting the grind. I’m intrigued so far, but haven’t played enough to know what to expect. The production values are quite good, especially for an indie game, and the writing and world building are great. It’s an oppressive game by design, and definitely not for everyone. I, for one, will keep playing it. Legion180 and Alex DeLargest like this. Legion180 Well-Known Member Jul 23, 2015 204 57 28 #7 Legion180, Jan 14, 2023 Thank you!
