Yuliya Kovach - Lockdown game


infoAbout This Title

Hello guys!

New game, and it is a pretty big one this time. It is called Lockdown, it works in the browser, nothing to download, on PC or on the phone.

Thirty days, one apartment and a door that does not open. You work from home, you order food in, you cook when the money is low, and you are alone the whole month. And this one is first person, so you almost never see your own body. The picture is the room you are standing in, and you see yourself only when you decide to go and look — the mirror in the bathroom, a glance down at yourself, or the scales. And the scales are the only place in the whole game where you get a number. If you don't go and stand on them, you don't know what you weigh)

As always volume and calories are two different things here and this is most of the game. Soup is almost a litre and almost no calories. The dessert box is half a litre and 2200 kcal. And the food does not become weight when you swallow it — it sits in your stomach, it empties over hours depending on what it is, and only then your gut takes it up. So your belly is going down while the calories are still arriving, and if you throw up, only what is still in the stomach comes back. Everything that already went past is yours)) Your stomach starts at 1000 ml and grows to 4000 if you keep stretching it.

There are 6 weight stages and 10 belly stages, so 60 different looks of you in every camera set, and there are 8 sets — 480 pictures of you, plus 28 rooms in four different day times.

There are also three states you can fall into, bingeing, restricting and overtraining, and you don't choose them, they come from what you actually did. Restricting means a full plate comes straight back up and you have to eat small amounts, often. Bingeing takes a second helping without asking you. And there is a psychologist you can ring. I’ve tried to simulate the behavior of the person in each state.

And your metabolism moves. If you restrict for two weeks your body quietly lowers what it burns, up to 15 %, which is exactly why the same restriction stops working. There is a window that shows you the number doing it.

Warning! Read this before you buy!

If you follow me, you should know, that for now I create multiple short games with some sort of game mechanics in almost standard interface, and every game is an experiment. This one is a much bigger experiment than usual. It is still one apartment and one girl, there are no cutscenes and no sex scenes. But the body psychology simulation under it is much deeper than anything I made before. Also I should say it, this game takes the eating disorders seriously — there is starvation, there is vomiting, and there is an ending where you don't survive the month. It is still a weight gain game and it is made to be enjoyed as one, I just did not want the other side to be a joke.
