Description



Managing the future of technology with humanity from a gas station

GAMEPLAY


Flat Eye is a perfectly balanced blend of management simulation and narrative-driven gameplay. As the manager of the world’s premier gas and technological hub, it’s your job to keep your station running smoothly, complete daily objectives tasked by the world’s first true AI, and develop new technology to improve (or curse) the future of humanity.

Flat Eye deals with technology and its impact on our lives. Therefore, it might contain heavy topics not suitable for everyone.

FEATURES


Explore a vast tech tree to discover and install new modules into your station to entice “Premium Customers”. Each of these characters will bring with them a new and eye-opening narrative for you to interact with and influence.

Example Modules**:
  • Organ vending Machine (Lab-grown, no free-range organs here)
  • Artificial Womb (Please keep your receipt to receive the correct baby)
  • Cloning Booth (Four hands are better than two)
  • Memory modification (Who needs regrets when you can erase them in a snap?)
  • Smart toilets (We’ll let you figure that one out)
  • Teleportation (One-way tickets only)
  • Plus, many more!

Each day you will need to report your store’s earnings and rating to the world’s first AI (and subsequently, the owner of Flat Eye and its parent company). A word of caution - don’t disappoint them.

Warnings have been placed at each store, please read with caution. Flat Eye™ is not liable for unforeseen outcomes from the use of its Cloning Booth, Organ Vending Machine, or Teleportation Module)

STORY


Flat Eye’s narrative centers around the exploration of emergent technologies through the stories of returning customers.

Not everyone that enters your station will be of importance - this is where “Premium Customers” come in. These “premium” characters will only appear once a specific set of modules are available for use in your station. Each of these customers has been profiled by the station’s AI as those who will have an important request that once explored, could have rippling effects on the future of humanity.

As the station’s manager, your job will be to listen to the needs of the “Premium Customers” and make decisions on behalf of humanity. It’s a tough job, but you don’t get paid minimum wage for nothing!

Loads of bugs and grammar errors. The business management aspect is superficial, something that becomes aparent about halfway through the game. I lost interest in the gameplay and the plot, and the game became a

Tl;dr buy if it is on sale, but don't expect more than 10 hours of gameplay. It was a very promising start, and I greatly enjoyed the demo release and early part of development. Unfortunately, the gameplay loop around

The bones of a great game here, but sadly cannot recommend it. 13 hours in and I doubt I will be finishing it. It's gotten really grind-ey, which I don't think the devs intended. This game is a classic example of one

It's a good looking game, with apparent effort from its creators to bring something new to the table. There are A LOT of ideas in there, and a lot of content too: text stories, technology tree, upgrades... It's so

Initially, seemed very interesting game. I Really regret buying this game now. Too much political liberal content, with "preferred pronouns." Also to many vip customer conversations that go on and on vs game play. Its

UPD: Well, dang, they've actually released a patch after my review :O The game is great. It really has a very entertaining yet occasionally grim story. The core gameplay loop is alright. Devs should have thought it out
