Au fil de 12 mois, ils luttent pour leur survie financière en investissant dans des plans délirants, en nouant ou en rompant des liens, et en déterrant des secrets. Ils adoptent des positions politiques - du socialisme au fascisme - ou se contentent de courir après l'argent sans s'engager. Ce RPG indie s'adresse aux amateurs de jeux axés sur les personnages et les choix, qui explorent les tensions sociétales du milieu des années 2010.
Bad Credit is a period-piece, neo-western visual novel set in the city of Tucson, Arizona in 2016. Featuring over 100 characters, the player will interact with a nightmarish range of hateful worldviews and morally bankrupt business opportunities to survive Tucson and pay back their loanshark. As political turmoils in the U.S.A. bubble to the surface, the player will make important choices that affect themselves, other characters, and the world around them.
As a role-play choose-your-own-adventure, Bad Credit centers around the player's first-person interactions with some of the most hideously deranged people imaginable. The player must struggle to keep their finances in the black over a 12 month period by making astute investments in the truly sickening schemes of the darkest of minds. Over the year, you will encounter a varied array of viewpoints on the current affairs that affected mid-2010s society. You can choose a political position. Become a red-faced socialist. A milquetoast liberal. A rotten fascist. Perhaps you don't want to choose a position. Perhaps you would like to be positioned wherever that bag is. It's all up to you.
Bad Credit, above all else, is characterized by its characters. Build your relationships and tear them down where you see fit. Find out their deepest, darkest secrets. Treat them like sidewalk trash. Make them your charity cases. The choice is yours.
Will you resist the unease of the information age? Or will you milk it for all it's got?
