Trinh Ha : Game Design, Concept, Visuals, and ProgrammingUtopia is a video game within a video game about video game addiction. Extrapolating from the developer’s game playing activity and imagining a more extreme version of themselves within the player, with heavy inspiration from Doki Doki Literature Club.
I play a lot of videogames myself but I wouldn’t consider myself addicted by any means. I still sometimes view them as a helpful escape or stress reliever for when I am feeling down. I consider the player in this game an extreme version of myself.
Utopia is purely point-and-click. For the most part, you click on buttons and things to play an animation.
