A Retro-Future Dystopian Adventure

The year is 2036. In this famine-riddled world, food-centric sovereignty has been established. Living alone inside a food-inspection booth, you are striving to find truth and peace beyond the borderline.

Features

• Challenge a series of food inspection missions that will put your skills and strategies to the test.

• Live a solitary life in a booth and spend hard-earned wages on post-cultural gems or lottery tickets.

• Enjoy an atmospheric and characteristic soundtrack that is exclusive to high class Iden citizens.

• Meet with a dozen of dull or interesting people who may be a help, a threat, or something else to you.

• Experience an immersive, carefully crafted branching story where you get to choose, sometimes.

Booth is a game heavily inspired by Lucas Pope's Papers, Please besides many fictional classics I love in other media, such as 1984 and The Matrix. It began as my first attempt to make a full but small game after learning how to use GameMaker Studio in early 2017, during which time I was still a master student in Tokyo. And then, like you may guess, I didn't get the scale right and it took me 3 years to finish.

In 2018, while I was still not sure if I could ever release a game, I got accepted by the 6th BitSummit, after which Humble Bundle reached out and offered me the opportunity of a Humble Original debut. However, it was postponed due to the pandemic and now it seems I'm gonna release it to the world on my own.

In the days of making Booth, the thing I thought about most was how not to become another Papers, Please, as much as I love that game. Luckily, after the unintended growing of the worldview itself and two years of hard work alongside a day job, upon release I'm finally confident enough to say that now Booth shines in its own way.

I really hope you can enjoy it as much as I do. Thank u <3

For more info you can follow the game here or me on twitter or just ask away!
