Indonesian video game studio GameChanger Studio announced that their upcoming game 1998: Toll Keeper Story has reached over 10,000 wishlists on Steam. The announcement was made on Friday (1/8) via the studio’s social media account.
Set in the fictional country of Janapa, 1998: The Toll Keeper Story follows Dewi, a pregnant toll booth operator navigating the hardships of life during a time of national crisis. Inspired by the 1998 Asian financial crisis, the game places players in a dark and uncertain world, where social, economic, and moral pressures weigh heavily on Dewi.
In the game, the players must inspect vehicles, verify documents, and determine who may pass through her checkpoint. As protests erupt, prices surge, and institutional trust erodes, the player has to make decisions that directly impact Dewi’s survival and that of her unborn child.
Based in Tangerang, GameChanger Studio is a game studio founded by Riris Marpaung and Dodick Sudirman. They are known as the developers of the My Lovely series, a set of dark fantasy simulation games that includes My Lovely Daughter, My Lovely Wife, and My Lovely Empress.
