#12Backed. Sharp and satirical idea for a game. Reminds me of Papers Please and Closure.

#13Not just a compelling political statement, actually a pretty clever puzzler. Reminds me a little of Portal.
They idea is similar to Closure also.

Yup, the moving parts were tricky, in a fun way.

#17$20000 out of $40000 and 8 days left... hopefully he'll manage to raise it all. I played it soon after the demo was released and it got me super excited. Feels like Portal - when in some vlog entry the author admited to be a big fan of Portal series I wasn't surprised ;)

#18The devs are also running a crowdfunding campaign for this, with 10% of the donations going to the EFF, Demand Progress, Mozilla, etc: https://back.nothingtohide.cc
Thanks for that. As noble as I believe the aims, knowing that it's funding Demand Progress has saved me from making a donation I would have otherwise regretted.

What's your issue with Demand Progress? I've never heard of it before so I'm curious.

#20A noble effort and looks like a decent game. As-of-yet though, I think "Papers, Please" is possibly the best take on a dystopian game. The oppression in that game isn't just some puzzle mechanic but the whole monotonous process and being a cog in a gigantic bureaucratic machine. Could something similar be made for surveillance? http://papersplea.se/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QP5X6fcukM
They needn't be in competition with each other. I'd really like to see "social commentary" become an established genre in gaming, as it is with other forms of fiction.
