Description
About This Game
How to Win is an anarchic adventure/gaming experiment where anyone who plays can decide the rules of the world, and which direction our story goes.
In the summer of 2020, multi-award winning interactive theatre company Hidden Track teamed with indie game dev Cael O'Sullivan for their first ever gaming experiment. We asked our players what the rules of our game should be, and if they could imagine a world in which everyone could win.
We were given hundreds of suggestions and ideas, and we put the best ones to a public vote.
Whatever they decided, WHATEVER it was, that was the world we made next.
Winning suggestions included:
The result was… chaos.
Now, all 5 chapters of Season 1 have been compiled and remastered on Steam, along with new functionality and brand new content.
Explore the world we made, find out how it ended, then tell us what to do different.
Whatever you decide, that’s what happens next.
