Story
Setting and characters
In Dysfunctional Systems, Earth bears a utopian society with a school called «School Mediātōrum», composed of individuals called «mediators». Mediators are humans who resolve chaotic situations in other worlds. Though these worlds exist in different planes, and range in themes from «dystopian, to futuristic or fantastical», it is believed that the chaos of any one world can adversely affect Earth as well.
The protagonist of the series, Winter Harrison, is a 14-year-old mediator-in-training. A moral individual, she still finds the concept of «other worlds» hard to grasp. On her second mission (the focus of Episode 1) she is paired with Cyrus Addington, a tough and infamous senior mediator, to act as her guide and mentor.

Kickstarter campaign
Despite reporting «decent sales» of Episode 1, Dischan admitted that the project was not a financial success. Dischan turned to the crowd-funding site Kickstarter to raise funds for the production of the second and third installments of the novel. The campaign was opened for funding in February 2014, with the goal of raising C$49,000. By the end of the campaign in March 2014, the campaign had successfully raised C$67,450. Because the original goal was exceeded, Dischan stated that it would add more characters and environments to the second and third episodes than they had originally intended, as well as producing a bonus visual novel depicting Winter's first week as a mediator-in-training.
The project was cancelled in a January 2, 2015 announcement by Dischan and began issuing partial refunds through Kickstarter to backers. Dysfunctional Systems game free Download for PC Full Version.
