A prequel to Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos entitled Dysfunctional Systems: Orientation has been released! It follows Winter's first week at school, as she learns more about her future profession and the baffling nature of otherworlders. It's a great game to play if the first left you wanting to know more about mediators and their homeworld. It's a kinetic novel, which means that, unlike the first game, it contains no choices.
I'm also pleased to announce that development on episode 2 has restarted, with the art director from episode 1 (Doomfest) returning.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy Dysfunctional Systems: Orientation! A trailer for the game is available on YouTube or the store page . Below are some screenshots from the game.

Ever since we announced the Dysfunctional Systems development hiatus, weve been receiving emails asking us if we would consider a Kickstarter. Originally we were skeptical about the idea, but as the requests continued to pour in, we started thinking about it more seriously. In the end, we decided that wed give it a shot, and I now happily present to you the Dysfunctional Systems Kickstarter .
The goal of the Kickstarter is to raise $49,000 to fund two more episodes of Dysfunctional Systems. These two episodes would allow us to wrap up the series in a strong and satisfying manner. For more information, please read/watch our Kickstarter pitch .
It is your support that got us through Greenlight, and we hope that you will show us your support again and help us bring you the rest of Dysfunctional Systems! We've got faith in you guys!
