The fate of Utopia Island is hanging by a thread. Thomas More talks to God, possessed by the fever of life, asking how he can contribute to the advancement of island society. However, he is already old and fears that if he volunteers to travel to the civilization of the others and learn about their advanced technology, he will not be able to resist it. Wouldn't a porter from the island be more suitable to undertake the journey?
The matter will be debated during the assembly, which will be attended by most of the Utopians: young people, children and the elderly. In principle, More resists going to the appointment, knowing that his friend Peter Giles would propose him as a traveler; he wants to stay home reading quietly, but it will be the player who will decide whether to do so in this visual novel, which adapts a text by Víctor Atobas to the video game format.
Celebrating the 505th anniversary of the publication of Utopia, the video game takes More seriously in the sense that it parodies him, since the protagonist of the video game comes from another era and we cannot appropriate his figure without looking for what is current in it , what he lives today: the most current thing about More is the openness to the event, the concept of utopia.
In this sense, Víctor Atobas has fully respected the story, which he wrote during his quarantine and on which the video game is based, although also wanting to articulate - as far as possible - playable mechanics that allow the player to deepen the play experience , for example through color games or a visual acuity minigame.
