Game made in 4 hours for the Trijam 253

Infernal Contracting Guidelines

Greetings, Devil. Within these darkened halls, you, the wielder of malevolence, shall craft contracts that bind mortal souls. Three sinister pacts await:

Money Contracts: Promise wealth; claim their souls.

Limbs Contracts: Trade limbs for earthly boons.

Work Time Contracts: Steal their hours; grant torment.

Beware mortals, sly deceivers. They'll attempt to twist your malevolent pen. If you fail to fulfill a contract, the Old One's gaze brings eternal void.

Navigate these realms with shadow's cunning, for your infernal fate hinges on ink-stained pacts forged in darkness.

May your contracts bind eternally.

Can you even win?

I played as smartly as I could, trading the highest value I could but people wanted too many limbs, I couldn't trade for enough limbs, it was over.
I tried stacking up on money and trade down limbs because everybody wanted money the game before that.
If people's wishes are random that makes winning pure RNG even if you understand the system.

(1 edit)

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to balance the game. So as you said it’s pure RNG. I made the game in 3 hours for the Trijam

Did you find the game concept and explanation clear to understand the game system ?

Nope, it took me some trial and error. I still don't understand what happens when they want 5 limbs and I offer 2 limbs.

it doesn't trade down so they only take 3 limbs instead.
