Now, with that in mind, Compulsion Games have taken the risk and released a game, where we can actually live in an anti-utopia. It is a paradox that game developers “forgot” that little fact and use it as a backdrop for action dramas ( BioShock, Half-Life 2, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mirror’s Edge). We Happy Few (2018)ĭystopia is one of the most fertile soils for interesting stories and unusual game mechanics. I personally believe in this project, but as well forewarned is forearmed. Therefore, Agony has become not only an example of a great idea being wasted, but also how the developers can show a pretty picture of a cool game, promoting it, and meanwhile doing something completely different.įor the record, Madmind Studio are currently developing Succubus – an action spinoff of Agony in the same setting and rating. And then later all the obscenities were shown in an unrated re-release, but by then, nobody ever looked up the game. Maybe it could be attractive, but considering the game was censored just before the release, hopes were dashed. However, even here the developers messed up, by placing huge bets on sexual content. A prime example of the level design in Agony a plain higgledy-piggledy hodgepodge.
