A surreal slice-of-life about a mysterious computer virus and its effects on the city you live in. Navigate day-to-day decisions, fall in love with your coworker, and alienate your customers by being rude in this dystopian desert ring-‘em-up — featuring graphics created with a Game Boy Camera!


> > Pre-Save the Kickstarter! < <


Play as the Clerk, the team leader at 8-Fifteen location #97433213. Your job is to run a small station just outside of Divinity City, a megacity with all sorts of strange inhabitants. One night, when everything seems to be going as it should, a mysterious update appears on your computer - causing trouble for you and your coworker, Sam (as if your work days weren't hard enough).

As the week goes on and the Update Virus “upgrades” your system, you’ll make decisions that steer the course of the story and affect both Sam and yourself. If you’re lucky, you’ll both make it out with your lives… and maybe a deeper relationship than you were expecting. Gain insight into your customers personal lives (and how the Update Virus has affected them) through conversations, and treat them with kindness or rudeness to influence how they feel about you. If you're not careful, some people might not come back - including Sam!
