He unknowingly faces a great threat with his fellow citizens. Leader created a system of amplions through which he sends subliminal commands, and with them he leads the whole society to perfection.

So he decides to thwart all Leader's plans and make sure that the society survives in its imperfection.[1][2] ## Gameplay *Phonopolis* is a point and click [adventure puzzle game](/source/Adventure_game#Puzzle_adventure_games), mixing exploration with puzzles.
