Hello guys, I wanted to announced that I finally released my demo for The Milgram Experiment. One of the inspirations of the game is the book Obedience to Authority by the same scientist. Other big inspirations are Papers, Please; Pools; Sublimnal and the show Severance.

I grew up and still live in Eastern Europe and here we have experience and past with authority and authoritarianism. I mean look at our oppressive architecture: photo (imgur link) I took yesterday while walking my dog. I guess the subject has always interested me... "While do good people follow evil orders?"

The game tests if you obey orders and how does your moral compass work (if at all). I invite you try it and give me feedback. Hope you love it!

Hey :)
I'm honestly super surprised to see you / this game here on the Fediverse.

A few days ago the trailer of this exact game was on my YouTube front-page recommended to me (despite just having hundreds of views). The game looked amazing (I even made two comments there). But now, seeing the same game / even the developer themselves on Lemmy, which isn't exactly a well-known platform, is such a big coincidence :0

Anyways, while yesterday the demo wasn't available for me on Steam yet, I just looked at it (the page was even still open!) and now it is :D

I'm actually hyped to play it, I just have one question :) How much does the demo spoil of the game? I'd love playing the demo, but I don't want to spoil myself too much, so I probably wouldn't play it if it contained large parts of the final game.

Thank you for the kind words : ) So the full game takes place over 7 days and in the end I have planned 10 unique endings. The demo is just the first 2 days so you can get a taste of what the experiment is about. Basically it doesn't spoil anything. I am amused to read player theories about the story and the indentity of the main narrator tho! Let me know if you are gonna play it because feedback and positive reviews on Steam are always welcomed!
