Kickstarter Dive into the dystopian world of Oceania 2084 – a spiritual successor to George Orwell's classic, 1984

[Jocher symbolic systems]

Experience the depths of asymmetrical gameplay, where player agency reigns supreme. Join the resistance against Big Brother's oppressive regime, weaving intricate tales of hope and defiance.

The brilliance of the system's asymmetrical gameplay can be found in the freedom of player agency taken when providing future characters with hope that they may one day break free from Big Brother's grasp. My players became invested in the stories of their resistance members and created a complex web of family and friends for them to swap to in the event that their character was executed by Big Brother. This game provides truly some of the strongest TTRPG storytelling elements I've ever seen.- Heart II Soul Studios

Oceania 2084 offers an adversarial storytelling experience with a focus on social gameplay and stealth.
