Information / Synopsis
Experience the REAL LIFE OF AN INDIE GAME DEVELOPER through one of the 3 characters of the game. An artist, a programmer or a Musician. Discover how each of the characters' personalities degenerates THROUGH DARK HUMOR MINI-GAMES. Because making videogames is not easy.
In Indiecalypse we'll play as Jack Jackson (programming), Ethan Wornick (music) and Violet Oakly (art), and live their own particular stories. The game's main mechanic is based on modern exploration/adventure games, but Indiecalypse also includes more than 20 mini-games, most of them copied, sorry, based (let's say inspired by...) some of the most popular games and mechanics in video game history.

Three stories, three outcasts, three nerds… and a single destiny: to make the best video game ever. This is the basic premise of Indiecalypse, JanduSoft’s upcoming release, sadly based on actual events.
Indiecalypse depicts the crude reality of indie game developers and their struggles to get their shit together when it comes to releasing a video game.
Three misfits team up to design and produce their own indie game, finding themselves in a path of chaos, self-destruction and resentment. But there’s also space for crude humor, pop culture references, gratuitous and non-gratuitous violence... and fear. Fear of the dozens of lawsuits for copyright infringement, obscenity and profanity we’ll have to face if the game is finally published.
It sounds wonderful, but…

Our Review
Some parts are fun, especially when the references are more subtle or when they make a scene funny without the need to disrespect or pull a stale stereotype. And, of course, those moments are there, but it is hard for them to shine with those black holes of humor that overshadow all the good. If it catches your attention and you consider yourself capable of looking the other way and ignoring those moments, or you simply will not give them the same importance as I do, well, I don't know, you can give it a try. You will discover a title with entertaining mini-games and a pretty cool art direction. However, I feel unable to recommend Indiecalypse, especially to those who have identified with my comedy tastes or who believe that some of the parts I have described may cause more headaches than laughs.
