One city, two lives

The sun goes down.
The city wakes up.

Shops open and close by the hour. Prices move. The club door only matters after dark. Drag the dial and watch Grand Avenue change shifts.

Choose your hustle

Four ways up. One rival each.

Your hustle sets your starting stats, your work and who wants you to fail. Every path has four rungs. The top one is a long way from a squeaky bed on Maple Street.

Street trade

Buy low at the beach.
Sell high downtown.

Twenty-one shops and stalls buy and sell the same eighteen goods at different prices, and those prices move with the hour. Flowers are cheap at the florist at noon. Somebody on the far side of town wants them by dusk.

  • Prices rise and fall through the day, shop by shop
  • Every stall shows what is a deal right now
  • Your bag holds twenty items. Choose well
  • Trade profit pays the rent when work does not
The Avenue Florist trade window: cut flowers at 14 percent below the usual price

Thirty-six places

A whole city to get lost in.

Beaches, back alleys, a rooftop pool, a club with a velvet rope. Every door on every street goes somewhere.
