A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Cyberpedia is a fictional CD-Rom game released in the 90's, in which kids could boot it up on their home computer, and through the power of the internet, the game would generate a museum full of exhibits for you to explore and learn all about. It's the information superhighway all in one place!

You're booting this game up over 30 years later though... and the state of the internet is a lot different to how it was back then. As you go through the game you'll find that links go missing, information gets lost, and a certain, 'generative', trend has been spreading like a plague across the game.

While you explore Cyberpedia, you and your helpful museum assistant, Bookworth, can help sort out these issues! as best as you can at least...

This is a prototype I've developed over a couple months for my university course. I'd love to develop the concept further into a full release in the future!

Made using Chris Burton's Adventure Creator toolkit.

Sorry the game is a bit large for what it is! I've used lots of high poly museum scans lol. Compressed them best I could! Should be able to download the executable and run Cyberpedia :)

You have made me feel bad for a little mustachioed book who did nothing wrong.

He's just doing his best!
