Rent Officers by Dobryn

[raw]
made by Dobryn for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

You play as a 'rent-officer' out with your colleague to bring 'someone' who hasn't paid 'his' rent for the last few hundred years, and that's alright because that's way less than the average lifespan of the synthetic people of this dystopian world.

What?

Yes, it's an incredibly branching story, that sort of continues from the last game I made, which is sort of stuck in demo because I don't know how to manage time properly even when at home.

So what's playable?

The decisions you make lead you to the endscreen (if you make it till there) where holoBot the omniscient manager under whom you work will comment on your choices, and that of your partner's in the game.

How?

Play the game with different choices and see for yourself.

What more will be added?

Branching narrative, tough moral decisions that make a game truly feel dystopian, game-art, and an intro video.

Hope you have a good time in the game, thanks for visiting the game page.

Interesting world building.
My only complaint so far is that some of the dialogue is awkwardly written (but that's easily fixable).
But, interesting setup, I'd like to see where the story goes!

Super interesting concept and take on the theme! Quite humorous! Personally, I would have appreciated maybe having visuals or sound effects/audio along the way to better appreciate the story line. I'd recommend making the options clearer by using different hover colours for each of the phrases/options or even boxes to differentiate these options. Also really like the the gameplay ideas that you plan to add! Nice job overall - can't wait to see where the story goes!
