The Man Came Around : making it free

Hi everyone.

One year ago, I released The Man Came Around after a long and difficult development as a solo dev.

It was my first game, I had no previous technical or artistic skills and let me tell you that mistakes were made. A lot of them. But I’m very proud of the final product.

Alas, the sales didnt really pan out and my company, Pipette Inc, recently had to go bankrupt. I appreciate the support of every person that bought the game or supported the project in any form.

I do retain the rights on my game as a private person, but it just doesnt make sense to try to continue to sell it.

So, I decided to make the game free. Probably in one or two weeks.

And to let people enjoy or hate it. I know its an inconvenience for those who paid for it first, but I’m sure you’ll understand my point of view.

Game Description:

THE GAME

The Man Came Around is a survival game filled with thorny moral dilemmas.
Occida, one of the world’s most powerful nations, is shaken by mass protests. As the fight between The Many -an activist organization- and the government intensifies, the protesters face brutal repression.

Play five citizens trying to leave this mess.
Your only hope is to cross the Northern Border, a heavily guarded fence lost in the mountains.

You’ll face grave dangers during your journey, from harsh elements to corrupt cops. Manage your scarce resources, take tough decisions, and make the best of your group’s abilities to escape this lethal maze.

But remember: sometimes staying alive is not the same as doing the right thing… Will you sacrifice your principles to survive?

FEATURES

Moral Choices: Sacrificing a member, making shady deals, or letting other innocents die to survive … You’ll face tough decisions during the adventure.

Interactive Narration: Let your choices change the story. Replay to discover all possibilities.

Group Survival: Permadeath for the characters! It’s up to you to finish the game with five or only one survivor.

Trauma System: Stress and guilt will impact your characters.

Replayability: Each play-through will be different, thanks to some added randomness.

Unique Art Style: The hand-drawn graphics are inspired by minimalism and speed painting.
