Junk Island (Working Title)

This wasn’t what I expected when I left home.

Of course I anticipated hardship.
I expected the kind of troubles any normal person would face, traveling from place to place like this.
It was an exhilarating thought at the time, freedom.
Freedom to succeed, freedom to fail....
At last I could experience those feelings on my own terms.

But being out here like this, I’ve come to realize that it’s not just my own failings that I will have to face, but the failings of others as well.
And not just the failings of individuals either, but of groups, institutions, governments - insurmountable mountains that I could not possibly scale.
I had never realized just how much the world would fight against my efforts to contribute to it.
It reminds me of home.
It’s stifling.
Infuriating.

But as corny as it sounds, I’m not giving up.
There is no longer any room in my heart for compromise.
Doing so would be betraying myself and the convictions I hold.

I don’t need to win at life.
But I would not die knowing that I hadn’t damn well tried.

Junk Island is an RPG about bureaucracy, capitalism, and a community's right to thrive. Anri, a young entrepreneur, has come to where the world's trash goes: a small island off the coast of Overis. Originally wanting to set up a business to free herself from the shackles of her overbearing parents, she soon finds herself embroiled in an unseen war between the law and those who would reform it.

Features:

• A character-centric RPG story with roguelight gameplay -- Junk Island is different every time to explore it
• Small details bring the Island to life, like weather and time of day affecting monsters
  
• Far too many burgers to count
