A short adventure. Three different endings. Headphones preferable. To play, download the zip file and extract the contents to the desired location. Run panopticon.exe.
To the people not using Windows: You might be able to run the game from source. What is needed is Ruby 1.9.2 (the game might run in previous versions but I'm not sure) and the Gosu gem (see http://www.libgosu.org/), which is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Please tell me if it works (or if it doesn't).
Made using Ruby with Gosu and OCRA. GIMP, Paint and markers for graphics. Audacity, Bfxr and MilkyTracker for sounds and music. Contains a map editor of sorts (needs Ruby and Gosu to run) and some (poor) documentation to explain mapformat in the maps directory.
Controls:
Arrow keys for walking
Space or return to perform action (possible when indicated by questionmark above character).
The Panopticon is a type of building. See wikipedia for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
