You wake up behind the counter of a pawnshop. The door is locked. A debt hangs over your head.
The Collector is watching.
You have five days to turn a profit. Or you die.
Every day, items come through. Your job is to observe them, analyze them, spot what's wrong. Some carry subtle markings — symbols, signs that only a careful eye will catch. Accept a cursed item by mistake, and the rules shift. Take in stolen goods, and karma turns against you. Inflation. Fines. Invisible consequences that stack in silence.
The terminal is your only ally. Every morning it reports the news — stolen goods in circulation, categories under watch, fluctuating values. Read it. Remember it. Ignore it at your own risk.
There is no UI. No HUD. No tutorial holding your hand. Everything you need to know is in the room. Everything you need to see is in front of you. The rest belongs to The Collector.
Five days. One chance. Be profitable.
