ABOUT IDIOCRACY: Idiocracy, Inc was established back in 2014 by a group of "Idiots" that dreamed of creating new game experiences for mobile platforms. We're labeled idiots for daring to make games with relative "unpopular" choices of genre or game-play mechanics. Pirates War: The Dice King was our first title, released in the App Store back in 2016. We have since worked on other projects of similar nature -- such as Jumanji: The Mobile Game and Dice Brawl: Captain’s League -- and now we are starting to pursue different categories of gaming. We learned a lot from our past projects and Rotten Escape is yet another first step for us in this magnificent world of video-games. Are you having problems? Have any suggestions?
