Sorry to disappoint, but it’s not that kind of thirst! (And not that kind of trap, either…)
Description
Hi, I’m Unfolding, and this is my second little romhaiku—a term I’ve coined to describe a short yet polished hack focusing on a single concept.
This hack is a silly, completely SFW story about refusing to pay for overpriced water in a terrible tourist trap! It was created for MAGM 7, with the theme of Tourist Trap, and tied for first place with Haven’s Escher Forest—which is an actual masterpiece.
Go play that one, then come back and enjoy this quirky adventure! 😊
Features
- A borderline dystopian capitalist world laced with silly, sharp humor.
- An obsession with originality – ensuring the hack feels fresh and unique.
- A bizarre yet self-consistent premise that keeps you hooked.
- Art galore: Paintings and sculptures that evoke deep emotions—and then question you about them.
- A mystery that’s as fascinating as it is ridiculous.
- The creeping anxiety of not having enough money to survive in a ruthless town.
- A bonus boss who outright cheats (and revels in it).
- Puzzles galore: obscure game mechanics alongside one incredible puzzle designed by a legendary puzzle maker.
- A short but sweet experience: beatable in under 30 seconds for speedrunners, just like Accept Defeat, or about 2 hours for those savoring the absurdity and exploration.
Creator Note
It’s hard but not impossible to throw away money to the point where the game becomes unwinnable, so don’t do that, hahaha. There shouldn’t be much level grinding or anything that’s really tedious, but the bonus boss is pretty tough even with a great team. Feel free to play with save states!
