The meteor came. And from it, the survivors learned to harness the power source known as Zygnoka. In the next forty years, the megacity known as The Structure was erected inside the impact crater. Here, the people isolated themselves, accelerating their dependence on technology and created a society as a machine of its own.
In The Structure, order and efficiency is maintained by severe top-down control. In the name of efficiency, new machines and instruments are put to use on the public the instant they are invented. In pursuit of optimisation, a new profession is tasked to maintain the increasingly precarious anomaly levels of the city's inhabitants. These are called Mind Scanners.

You get to scan neurodivergent individuals minds and then lobotomised them if you feel like making them a characterless potato. Great times had by all 👍2 found this helpful
cool idea but the game is a little too mundane for me.2 found this helpful
Highly recommend this game. It starts off a bit slow but picks up fast. It took me a minute to know how everything works, especially trying to keep the personality in check, but once I got that, it really became an obsession to keep playing this game. I was sad when it ended but I enjoyed every moment of it. It was very short. I beat it in like 4 hours.
I just love games that allow me to MKULTRA people. That is like my thing!
The more I play games, the less interested I become in realistic graphics and the more interested I become in the plot and concept. There you have it: a distant future in an alternate reality, a dystopia, factions with their own interests in conflict. You encounter a multitude of characters, each of whom presents you with their own vision of this world and their own way of perceiving it. Essentially, you're simply reading dialogue and making decisions about the characters. And it's precisely this simple gameplay and a good concept that allow you to fully immerse yourself in a primitive pixel art game. Your imagination is the key element. Of course, it's worth noting that your decisions matter and influence both the game's progress and its ending, which increases replay value. I really enjoyed it. P.S. People are right when they say that if you like "Papers Please!" then this game is for you.
Absolutely love this game. The music, the atmosphere, the large variety of unique characters, and the moral choices you face (which effect your ending) gave this a lot of replay value for me.
