The series of events leading to the Republia token starts here. I played through the game 3 times and spent about 13 hours with itYou play as a border control checkpoint worker for the country of Arztotska, and Sovietesque dictatorship with an oppressive government. Pick which stories to run and where to run them wisely - otherwise the government will have your family killed. The first play through was really entertaining, but by the end of my third play through it was pretty tedious.
Orwellian publishing simulator OR accurate reflection of today's hyper-manipulative media? Free, browser based indie experiment The Republia Times has you playing the editor of a state-controlled newspaper, tasked with convincing a skeptical public that they should love their oppressive, militaristic, anti-academic government while at the same time pursuing ever-greater audiences.You're given a counter in each area, telling you how many many of each collectible are left. The game is divided between the 'real' world and the mental world, and in the real world, collection works like this: Collectible items (cards, challenge markers, scavenger hunt items, and brains) are brightly colored and mobile, making them pop against the game's backgrounds. Now, to be fair, Psychonauts gets half of its collection sidequest stuff right. And I was right! The only problem (and it's the thing that always trips me up when re-playing Double Fine's best game) is the tedium of some of the collection aspects of the game. I don't need the stakes of knowing that failure means losing half an hour of progress in order to take the challenge seriously.īeen re-playing Psychonauts, on the theory that its hilarious dialogue and gorgeous art would make it a good game for The Girlfriend to watch me play (she enjoys it, I swear). I still want hard, nasty challenges in my games, but I want the challenges to be their own reward. Not spend twenty minutes doing the things that lead up to the challenge.Īm I just whining and asking to have my hand held? I don't think so. If a challenge kills me, I want to try that challenge again. #The republia times download simulator#.
