Evaluation

Booth: A Dystopian Adventure launched on July 22, 2020 as a complete, self-contained narrative game. The developer explicitly stated on July 24, 2021 (the 1st anniversary post) that "Booth is already complete in its current form" and that no DLC is planned — any future expansion of the world would be an entirely separate game, not additional content for Booth itself. This was reaffirmed on July 22, 2025 (the 5th anniversary post), where the developer confirmed that "Booth is the first entry and already done" as part of an announcement about a new Dystopian Food Trilogy. The developer is now focused on building new games in that trilogy, with a second game's prototype already finished and a third in concept. These are entirely new games, not updates or DLC for Booth. Post-launch activity for Booth has been limited to maintenance: engine updates, localization additions (Russian, Japanese, Traditional Chinese), bug fixes, and a minor difficulty mode. None of this represents new story content or gameplay expansions. The only DLC ever released was the Original Soundtrack, which shipped on launch day. The game shipped as a finished product, the developer has explicitly confirmed it is complete, and all subsequent updates have been technical upkeep only. Anyone waiting for the full Booth experience can consider it complete as of its July 22, 2020 release date.

About this game

A Retro-Future Dystopian Adventure

In the early 21st century, as the environment on earth continues to deteriorate and untainted food sources become extremely difficult to find, a global famine has turned long-held civilizations upside down. The governments have since then been in charge of the acquisition and distribution of food for their people, with most borders closed for security reasons.

Now the year is 2036. In the city of Iden, every piece of food entering resident areas must pass a required set of tests, executed by skilled government workers. You, as one of the newly-recruited food inspectors, will carry out your duty 24/7 alone in a booth. Even though it is considered one of the most desired occupations in Iden, what you want from it is a bit different — an escape from this blockaded city.

Features

  • Challenge a series of food inspection missions that will put your skills and strategies to the test.

  • Live a solitary life in a booth and spend hard-earned wages on post-cultural gems or lottery tickets.

  • Enjoy an atmospheric and characteristic soundtrack that is exclusive to high class Iden citizens.

  • Meet with a dozen of dull or interesting people who may be a help, a threat, or something else to you.

  • Experience an immersive, carefully crafted branching story where you get to choose, sometimes.
