About Experimental Gameplay
Experimental Gameplay is a short fan game set in an alternate reality where Pokémon never became a success and slipped from public memory. Iroh, a former employee of a struggling game company, receives a request to test its latest project after years away from his old colleagues. What begins as a test job turns into an encounter with the hidden history of Pokémon. This is for players after an unusual, uneasy one-hour story rather than a conventional journey. Progress involves recovering parts of a circular key and using the Holo-Circle to handle distorted Pocket Monsters.
What's in it
- An alternate world where Pokémon culture faded away
- A former employee called back to test a game
- Three pieces needed for a circular key
- The Holo-Circle for interacting with Pocket Monsters
