Dysfunctional Systems: Orientation

Dysfunctional Systems: Orientation is a kinetic novel and a prequel to Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos. It tells its story through text, sound and illustrations, with no gameplay beyond clicking to progress.

Winter's first week

The Dysfunctional Systems series follows Winter Harrison, a student mediator from a utopian Earth. Mediators travel between worlds and try to resolve the conflicts there. In Orientation, Winter spends her first week at school learning about her future profession and the baffling nature of otherworlders.

The story expands on the world established in the first game. Orientation does not assume prior knowledge of the series, though its focus on the universe's details may be more rewarding if you already know it.
