What is Dysfunctional Systems?

Dysfunctional Systems is a series about Winter Harrison: a student mediator from a utopian Earth. A mediator is someone who travels between worlds, attempting to resolve the conflicts plaguing them. Dysfunctional Systems: Orientation 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.

Should I play Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos first?

You probably should. Dysfunctional Systems: Orientation doesn't assume you have any knowledge of the series, but its primary purpose is to expand on the world established in the first game.
