Introduction:
This competition is a 20-day game development challenge hosted on Unstop, designed to subvert the traditional “Hero’s Journey.” Participants are tasked with creating an experience where the player is not the savior, but the powerful system shaping the fate of a world—an algorithm optimizing society, an unstoppable natural phenomenon, or a distant entity sustained by belief.
We seek games centered on “Calculated Influence”: experiences where logic, efficiency, and impersonal mechanics gradually reshape a civilization. The goal is to explore how systems, decisions, and incentives can quietly transform a world—and how players grapple with the consequences of that power.
Tools and Technologies:
- Use of Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, or custom engines is permitted.
- Third-Party Assets: Use of "Store Assets" (Art/Audio) is allowed but must be disclosed. Narrative and System Design must be 100% original.
- We ask you not to use any AI to generate any asset or code.
