A tiny social MMO about being a broke penguin doing crimes in a Canadian city that doesn't care.
"Sir, I'm going to need you to put down the catalytic converter, please."
Froston is a mid-sized Ontario city somewhere off the 401, the kind of place the rest of the country forgets about. Eight months of shitty weather. Equal parts Jim Ortons and weed dispensaries. And the rent keeps going up.
It's not much to look at, but it's home, and sometimes that's enough.
Collect empties for ten cents apiece. Lift packages off porches before the neighbours notice. Saw the catalytic converter off a parked car if you've got the nerve and the tools.
Nobody's getting rich out here. But a good day's work might cover a twenty-sixer, a pack of smokes, and a couple gas station hot dogs.
Pat's been pulling pints at the bar since before you hatched and he'll be there long after. Constable Baker's arrested you a dozen times, but at least he's not a dick. Brad runs the recycling centre, and he'll talk your ear off about the federal reserve and UFOs if you let him.
Froston's full of decent people just doing their best.
There's no rise-to-power arc here. The best you can hope for is a one-bedroom, a closet of decent fits, and a few friends down at the bar who know your name.
It's a game about the dignity of small wins in a city of decline.
