The city breathes. It breathes in ragged growls. The city cries. The city slides its slender fingers across its concrete skin and drives its fingernail deep beneath its ribs. The city bleeds. You are Trần Công Lan, young second generation immigrant of the great capital city. Life has not been kind to you or your recently departed parents, and yet you still wake up every day and perform the same tasks you did the day before. The city warps and twists in front of you. No one else seems to notice it. You hear it creak slowly at night. You leave your small appartment and prepare for another day. You kick the city with every step you take on its pavements. You curse the city with your every breath. You look up and gaze at the bright purple smog, dancing jitters in the grey-blue sky. You sigh and go do what you have to.

why are there muggers in the grocery store?
obviously because that is where all the money is :o
capitalism
oh no
just had another one of my stupid ideas. this time, less chaotic. i'm gonna try to die in new mexico (survive 10 mins) with 0 stress.
wish me luck. I AM ABSOLUTELY GOING TO NEED IT
record so far is 1 min 40 seconds.
UH IS THIS NORMAL????
new record: 2 mins 10 seconds. giving up. too diffifficult ;-;
seriously what is it with me and my chromebook dying. it died again.
WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND MY CHROMEBOOK DYING
time to find out what happens if you sit still for like an hour :>
ok so uh... i did nothing for a while. then i talked to an nft guy who i got knocked next to by a wasp/bee thing 5 times... he put my debt so high because i was mugged while my money was goin crazy-
D E B T .
imma stop doin nothing now.
h.
the wasp/bee things are children of the devil.
Fun game but I died in real life 10/10
sadTM
S O . U H M . left this afk for like 7 hours and uh.
yeahhhhhhhhh...... almost 40k muggings!
time to leave this for logner :>
so i decided to enter another area......... R E G R E T . my game has become an absolute S L I D E S H O W .
also on the road i move at about mach 100.
h.
welp time to see how explodey i can get :P
so turns out you can only explode once at a time, even if u have over 200% ;-;
device died again, i'm startin over. this time i hope WITHOUT SMOG. i just want muggers. preferably like 10k of em :P
mugger run
when i go on a path/road i go so fast that the screen moves faster than me. i only appear about halfway to the end of the path.
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!
woaha
S O .
i've gotten mugged so many times and they're being multiplied... i wonder if i'll reach -10k money before my game freezes completely.
almost there. i afk'd it and at some point i got launched away from the smogs :/ so now i'm getting mugged at all times.
:P
help-
also.
i am 14k in debt :D
THEY'VE FOUND ME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY'VE FOUND ME
also i am being mugged at an alarming rate. i'm losing like 50 bollars a second ;-;
btw, is stress what is increasing my speed? cuz i have over 100 stress rn and i am super fast on de paths and roads. edit: somehow i managed to spell stress as streen but i fixed it ._.
yup! basically stress increases your acceleration (therefore top speed) and nearly everything in this godforsaken city raises your stress
alrighty then. thanks! stress makes grocery shopping easier.
The shopping mall is f*cking scary
a g r e e . that's why i don't actually play the game, i mess around with the character lol. my average frame rate in this game is incredibly low :>
i mildly inconvenienced some smog and now my stress levels have exceeded 100.
make that 250. and also now for some reason on roads i travel at the speed of sound.
and when i left the job site, A SWARM OF LIKE 100 SMOGS APPEARED HELP
this is me in the grocery store later. the smogs follow you. also, they saved me from the one dude by stunning me.
edit:
h e l p . . .
they're forming into a singular entity............
groceries in this are stressful. I AM 63 DOLLARS INTO DEBT AND I INTEND TO EITHER FINISH OR GET TO LIKE 1000 DOLLARS IN DEBT +-+
118 dollars in debt but i DID IT
congrats! Also nipaaaaah~
as decapitated baby head said, "suffering is the point".
it is
Is this supposed to be a bad game? it's fucking brilliant!!!
thank you haha
I think we decided it would be a bad game later in the dev cycle :p
i dont know what the hell iam doing but nipaah~ lol
nipaaaaah ~
i didnt understand what i was doing and i think i completed it without dying in new mexico
