Exploring the World of Neurocracy
You may not realize it, but Wikipedia can be seen as a game. With its vast array of characters and stories, each page serves as an interactive platform where your choices impact what you learn next. This concept is exemplified in Neurocracy, a game that closely resembles Wikipedia in many ways.
Neurocracy first launched in 2023 and is currently in its third season, with the final episode airing on September 17th. Now is the perfect time to delve into this intriguing world.
In Neurocracy, you are the main character as you navigate Omnipedia, a fictional yet realistic website where all the action takes place. The game provides a virtual conspiracy pin board to help you unravel mysteries as you progress.
Omnipedia, described as an “English-language online encyclopedia founded by internet entrepreneur Tony Hsiung in June 2049,” serves as the primary source of information in the game. It’s interesting to note that Wikipedia has ceased to exist in this futuristic setting.
As you gather clues and piece together information, you uncover a compelling murder mystery within the game. The full version allows you to add links and text to build your conspiracy theories.
While I’ve only scratched the surface of Neurocracy, its expansive world beckons exploration at a leisurely pace. It’s the kind of experience best enjoyed with occasional deep dives into the rabbit hole.
The third season of Neurocracy concludes next week on September 17th. To prepare yourself, consider picking up the game on Itch.io.
