Such a unique game experience that I have never seen replicated...I found myself more immersed than I could've imagined and felt my own agony ironically when I came to the end of the demo. I can only hope it is one day finished...
I played the demo in the Haunted PS1 Demo yesterday and it really struck a chord with me. I spent all night just thinking about the characters, it stayed with me. I really hope the game gets finished someday
Dude...This demo was a trip. The story telling and world building right from the start is just insane, I was hooked. I will say in my personal opinion it was a bit difficult to take the game's story seriously at times because of how much certain themes were repeated over and over again, but I understand that's an artistic decsion. Speaking of that the UI and atmosphere of the environments and modelling is surprisignly good, even if extremely simple it fits really well. Overall I enjoyed the experience and look forward to this game's full release!
this was genuinely incredible, i played it as part of the haunted ps1 demo disc and i was speechless. is fuckin excited for this to come out, if and when it does
Although it's more of a interactive experience than a game itself, it remains very consistent and true of what it pretends to be, that is, a chaotic experience of a "world-ending" scenario.
The pacing and delivery of the aspects and lore of this MMO, the different people behind it and the general atmosphere around all of this was very well done IMO. I also found the HUD very fitting. It creates that unconfortable space of an archaic game, already past it's expiration date, that pushes that "agony" and despair even further.
It's a shame if this never gets fully done, altought as a quick experience it really works, for me at least.
The demo in itself at kinda feels more like a summary of what a dying mmo feels like. I feel it gets the idea across by itself at least. While we'll never know what a full game would've been like I think the demo stands on it's own as a solid mood piece.
The dev is fine as far as I'm aware. They hosted the Dying MMO Jam and are currently hosting the Film Festival vol. 1 Jam. I'm not sure if they're still working on Agony of a Dying MMO as there haven't been any clear updates. They post what seems to be work on other games that share the same styling, perhaps this is a purposeful obfuscation but no one can be sure for certain. The fact she hosted the prior jam could mean that it's still happening but with the lack of clear updates it hard to tell.
I took it on faith when others said it was canceled and along with the lack of updates I assumed that the game had been postponed indefinably. I apologize if I fed into any unfounded rumors if it turns out it's still in development... and for the multiple spelling errors in the og post
The "demo" is really more of a trailer you walk through, but it's interesting so far. All the characters were funny in their own way and the voice chat really helps to sell it, I just wish it didn't go by so fast. The choppy editing and jumping around makes it very hard to follow, and the HUD covers way too much of the screen. Other than that I liked it for the most part, but I didn't see anything that warrants a stream-safe mode
i played this demo in the haunted ps1 demo disk and was completely blown away at the concept and execution of this game. i found it to be a well told story through the eyes of several gamers that really capture the notion of what its like to be a part of something larger. the commentary that is heard throughout the demo also had me crying from laughter with its satirical and hyperbolized social commentary. i cannot wait for the full game. well done on the demo, it presents a hook that makes me wanting more.
Not so much a 'demo' imo but an interactive trailer but don't let that scare you away, it's very good! It really shows off how surreal this game is gonna be through the various clips it takes us to and the various interactions we see.
The voice acting is 'rustic' but I think it fits in well with what the creator is going for and has the potential to have very raw and powerful performances. On the other hand it could come off as clumsy and amature-ish but I have faith it will be pulled off well. Even if not, I think this has enough going for it to where even if it's a little lacking it's not really going to hurt the game that much.
Overall the premise is very interesting, I love the idea of a virtual doomsday and seeing how various players are coping with it which the demo gives us a peek into. Also the mystery of Adam, are they real or are they not? And the 'curse' of the game is also going to be a fun mystery to unravel.
It is pretty bleak but it has it's moments. "This game was really a lot better before they added Nazis as a playable faction.." got a chuckle out of me so I think this game is going to have some nice dark humor sprinkled in which I'm really looking forward to.
I wish there was a little bit more in the demo but I understand, it's a small operation. Overall I think this was a good little taste of what's to come and I'm so excited to see the full game. The hardest part is going to be waiting for it!

Does anyone know if there are other games like this?

It is quite unfortunate that this we won't have a full release. The demo was quite an enjoyable experience. :(

Is there really not gonna be a release I saw some new stuff the dev was pushing on his twitter in december.
Is there a reason posted somewhere ? Is the dev okay? I love the demo & really want the full game !

I am not closing the tab for this game until it's released. This feels like home.
Same Here!
:)
man! who know any mmo games feel like this ?
this this is what i want
The only ones I can think of are Worlds.com and Neocron. Both are still playable.
Worlds.com is the OG!

I'm not sure if I've wanted to experience the conclusion of a game more. Beyond excited to see where this goes. Who is Adam? Does he really exist?
Incredible experience. What a visionary game <3
