Inevitable Progress: A Fanmade Dialtown Route (about time travel) DEMO RELEASE
A while after the events of Dialtown Chapter 3, Oliver Swift woke up to find himself having been transported over 60 years into the past: to the summer of 1964, just after Norm had gone through the wormhole, and almost 2 years until the Worldwide Dialup.
It's been a couple months since then, and as summer turned to fall, Oliver's found himself no closer to finding a way back to the present than he was when he first arrived. Now working at the phone store under Gabby's pa, a chance encounter with President Crown may give Oliver the opportunity to return to his own time, and to change the course of history in the process.
INEVITABLE PROGRESS is a fanmade dialtown route mod by @irradiatedsnakes, where you play as oliver on a romp through the mid-60's!
this is the demo of the game- the entirety of chapter 1 of 3. in it, you'll have the chance to explore the uptown dialtown of the past, and to meet both familiar and entirely new faces about town. (this chapter has 4 new characters to meet, alongside a few familiar faces!)
in this, i want to explore a couple aspects of oliver's character that i think are really interesting and that aren't explored extensively in the game, as well as the state of callum, milt, and marla in the time leading up to milt's disappearance & the dialup. i've got a lot planned and i'm excited to get into it more!
this is something i've been working on for the past few months (with the help of many of my friends- i'll have a full credits & thanks list to go with the demo itself, but a massive thank you to @teruthecreator for beta reading for me, @littlesliceofimmortality for being the model for callum's sprites, and @tigsbitties and @agentlove both for providing artwork and helping with character creation! and also to the rest of my pals who ive been yapping about this all to. mwah<3)
(obligatory disclaimer that this is 100% a fan project and is in no way affiliated with dialtown proper or directdogman. it's just playable fanfiction, really.)
this is a mod, not a standalone game, and thus does require a copy of dialtown to install and play. you don't need either of the DLCs to play. (i have not attempted to play the mod on the dialtown demo without the full game, but it may be possible. if someone without the full game wants to try that out and report back that'd be appreciated!)
the mod doesn't interfere with regular gameplay at all- it's a side route started the same way how you start dietown or the enc0unter scene- start a new chapter 1 game, skip the intro, and enter your name as "Oliver"! the mod will begin from there. it's on the short side- you should be able to complete it in less than an hour.
