I’m a game developer currently working on Dystopicon, a dystopian life simulator where you get paid to watch television… maybe it’s not that dystopian after all

Si queréis saber más detalles sobre Dystopicon y su "extraña" propuesta, no os perdáis esta entrevista de @DeVuego, con @CristianRrDd, al que yo juraría que había escuchado en otro podcast, pero me aseguró que no 🤣🤣 Espero que disfrutéis tanto tanto la entrevista como yo 😊
¡Seguimos con las entrevistas! Hoy @PalitroqueDev, creador de Dystopicon, un juego que mezcla humor negro, simulación y crítica social en un mundo donde los robots trabajan mientras los humanos se dedican a consumir. ¿Qué podría salir mal? @CristianRrDd open.spotify.com/episode/4Aq…

I've made a new video about Dystopicon showcasing the words the press has used to describe the game. With the editing I wanted to pay homage to the trailer of a great movie that has, in a way, inspired Dystopicon. Can you guess which one? #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #dystopia

Hey @iampaulmcnally, thank you so much for your review of Dystopicon. What you wrote is exactly what I wanted to achieve with the game. I know it's a risky approach because the game isn't for everyone, but after reading your article, I feel completely satisfied with the result.

Here's the link: escapistmagazine.com/news-dy… By the way, the thing about the political channel isn't a bug, but a design decision. It's kind of a glitch in the system that players can take advantage of if they notice it. Like finding a loophole to avoid paying taxes hahaha

Big Brother is watching. Unfortunately, he also wants you to watch TV. BigMacDaddy dives into Dystopicon, a wonderfully warped game about propaganda, obedience, rebellion and keeping your citizenship rating nice and healthy. nag.co.za/2026/08/27/dystopi…

"Get paid to watch television" as a dystopian premise is such a good hook, feels like the kind of satire that only works because it's barely exaggerated. Hope the festival bundle push gets Dystopicon in front of more eyes, that's a pitch that should sell itself.

Great game and good people.
These ex-Disney animators spent 8 years hand-drawing an entire game on paper - You play as a cat in a narrative platformer - A love letter to classic animated movies - They've donated €10,000+ to animal shelters Would you play this? It's called Stars in the Trash.

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #38: Dystopicon by @PalitroqueDev Robots have replaced humans at work so the government assigns you a new job: watching TV. • Earn a salary based on which channels you watch • Spend it on basic services to keep yourself alive • Obey the government or secretly help the rebellion AI finally took every job and humanity’s final career is watching TV. I am prepared for this future. Available on Steam: $6.79 store.steampowered.com/app/3…

The Steam Cyberpunk Festival begins, and Dystopicon will be taking part alongside a huge number of amazing games. While most of the attention will naturally go to the big titles, it's still a great opportunity to bring some visibility to our little dystopia.
