Is IDIOT worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players drawn to stories about life under state control
- Players who enjoy exploring an island setting through everyday activities
- Players interested in a setting built around mail, food cartridges, and restricted travel
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking broad travel may hit a wall at the fog surrounding the island and the suppression of movement on water.
- Players expecting varied activities may find the listed routine centered on mail, mini-games, parcels, and island objects.
- Players who want a polished implementation may be put off by the author’s warning about the game’s implementation.
Our take on IDIOT
The bounce point is the island boundary: the surrounding fog and restrictions on movement across the water keep the setting closed off. Players expecting boat assembly to open up travel beyond Yaissor may hit that limit, since the authorities suppress movement on the water.
What is IDIOT?
Play as a remote quality worker on Yaissor, an island enclosed by fog and controlled by the state.
Activities include checking a mailbox that receives spam, playing computer mini-games to earn planets, receiving parcels, and assembling a boat at the berths. An empatoscope sends the character to other spaces to merge with a virtual world. A vending machine provides sparkling water, while a broken payphone cannot reach anywhere. Food cartridges arrive by mail and supply a printer that synthesizes food. Seasons can be switched between summer and fall, and night comes when the character chooses to go to bed. Authorities suppress movement on the water and warn citizens against leaving the island.
