About this game
Description
You wake up in your squalid apartment. Your phone screen is horribly cracked, and the alarm won't shut off. You're so tired... you aren't even sure which job you're supposed to go to today.Everything is getting more expensive. Unaffordably expensive. Groceries. Bills. How much more can you take? How can this even be sustainable?
Do you have what it takes to handle the struggle? Can you figure out a way to make it to a better life? To get out of this rut, and finally get your head above water? Enter the world of the protagonist, and find out if you can withstand the seemingly relentless hardship life is throwing at you. Or will you fall by the wayside - another chewed-up casualty of our unforgiving system? You can't control your luck, but your choices are all up to you...

Struggle! Angst! Oppression! Full game released!
Ever feel like the deck is stacked against us? That our systems are heavily tilted? That you can't get ahead, by design? Do you want some validation that your occasional feelings of unease, melancholy, and anxiety are shared by others? Do you like point-and-click, narrative-driven adventures? I think you will enjoy this game. There is a lot of exposition. There are 10 endings to unlock (viewable in a gallery on the main menu). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43184584/7bf5acc90ac8653b5ba9f5084cc550a017b0e3f2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43184584/2bf66c02f3ecc6e29e81910d89bf693569c1e158.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43184584/9672c8ce584404be7a2547bca83e0713bb158437.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43184584/ebd6a13574faf342d66bc15876fe50a2a5605872.pngRead full article on Community Announcements (ActionReplayNick)
