Are you tired of new games coming out broken? Well now is your chance to criticize someone else's game for free! hah I just finished the first playable version of my game and really need unbiased people to try it and give me their opinions and advice. As for the game - it's called The Milgram Experiment. Leave a comment or DM me so we can set something up!

I play a lot of games (over 4,000 games in my Steam library) and I've made a hobby of reviewing them here on Lemmy over the past year. I especially love horror games. I would love to give it a playtest and provide constructive feedback.

It's up to you if you'd like me to also post a review of it here on Lemmy or wait until a finished product is available. You can see my post history to see the kind of reviews I write, or you can check out my blog where I'm archiving my reviews here. Easier to browse the history of posts on the sidebar at that website.

    Are you retired or young?

    I cant imagine that much time! Good for you for being creative with it.

    Are you retired or young?

    I'm retired AND young... well, relatively speaking. I retired 3 years ago, at 38 years old. I'm 41 now.

    I was in the US military for 20 years, earned a pension, plus 100% disability through the VA. With the passive income and benefits (free medical/dental for life), I can afford to be fully retired now. I'm not filthy rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I make enough to live a quiet, relaxed life and have my basic needs met. And that's good enough for me. Plenty of time to indulge in my many hobbies. And I have ADHD, so I'm always finding new and interesting things to deep-dive into.

    I actually started a movie review blog about 6 years before I retired. I ended up taking a hiatus from it shortly after retirement and just haven't been motivated to get back into it lately, despite all the movies and TV shows I watch regularly.

    I switched to reviewing video games sometime last year and have been mostly keeping up with that; although it's been over 2 months since my last review. I should probably make a new post soon, or declare another hiatus. 😬

    You want someone to test your games for ways to break it? I know just the guy!

    "Hey there, it's Josh. Today we're checking out The Milgram Experiment. Thank you devs for the complimentary game code. This is a horror/moral choice simulator. And we all know how trustworthy MY morals and choices are! But enough about that, it's time for NEW GAME!!!"

    20 minutes later

    "Well, everything's on fire. Everyone's dead. And the frame rate is a staggering 3 frames per year! So that seems like a great place to call it a day. I hope you had fun, I know I did, and I'd like to thank the devs for this copy of their broken game. I'll see ya next time!"

    I played another guy's game (game dev thesis project) based on the Milgram experiment. It definitely didn't have this level of graphical fidelity. I'd be happy to give some feedback. I'm running Bazzite at the moment so if you need someone to look at for proton compatibility, etc. I'm happy to be the guinea pig there as well.

    I don't play many games etc but just wanted to say congrats on finishing it!

    Also, cool subjects material!

    Has anyone downloaded it yet? Just to make sure it's not a virus before I run it ;)

    If you need any Linux/proton teters I'm willing to test it. I can run it on Steam Deck, crappy laptops and of course game pc's.

    But don't know if you want the variable of Linux/proton in the mix know. Or only windows in case Linux/proton is creating more bugs.

    Anyway looks like a nice game and good luck with the development either way!

    This kind of game sounds right up my alley. I would love to help in some way.

    I'm interested. I'm also on Linux so I'll be able to provide feedback about Proton and Steam Deck compatibility.

    I'll check it out.

  • Seems like my type of game. I love me some psychological horror and philisophical dilemas.

    I'd be more than happy to provide feedback. I consider myself somewhat of a conesseur :P

    My brother and ex-wife were both psych majors so I’ve heard lot about this experiment. I’ll give it a shot. Mac, windows or Linux. I’m pan-OS-ual 😀

    I would love to try the game if it is available on Linux (sorry but I don't have any windows machines to try it on)

    I like the idea, and the graphics look really sharp. Definitely would give it a try.

    I'll play test it. I remember these experiments.

    I love the name!

    For those whom are not in the know, the milgram experiment is a real study.

    Where people were assigned as gaurds and others as prisoners.

    The study showed how those in power are very likey to abuse it!

    Sounds fun! Can see how well it runs on Linux.
