you and third friend notice odd things happening around town.
you collect all the items, you're too late.

you are given 2 options.
to sacrifice your body as new host and banished to an island
or 
kill friend and put an end to the curse
SECRET THIRD THING???

=office interior=
[p]

[Boss]
Alright, Thanks again you two for coming in on an off day.

[p]
No problem! Have a nice weekend, boss!

[Boss]
Would it be too much for you to call me... Father?

[p]
Just going to grab my things

player is supposed to interact with shine on "ground" and is free to move about the office.
\
<backpack GET>
<cell phone GET>

once "items" are picked up, exit is unlocked.

>touching the exit has the boss say "one more thing, here. for doing a great job."
and hands you a keychain.

you can inspect the keychain for "it's a cute bear head, of the company mascot.
I don't really like being reminded of this place on my off time."

=office exterior=
parking lot with one parked car. inspecting it reveals it to be the boss' car
2 sparkles are placed. containing cash. Will come in handy later when item hunt begins.

Player cannot go left, only right. Attempting to go left is told "i should head home, the other way."

=city connector 1=

she sees you and you start walking together.

[p]
Hey Anne! I got you something, isn't it cute?

>you hand over the keychain

[A]
Awwee... you don't have to get me anything!

[A]
How much was this?

[p]

panning shot introducing the city would be ideal

[p]
Its a straight shot. Wave bye to your house as we pass by.

Trigger a short scene where Ann turns north and waves "bye"

trigger short scene where you, the player, turns north at his turn and waves, says "bye"

Beach sign and Store sign should be a passive introduction to those areas as we pass by.

Clark graffiti on fence letting the player assume correct way.

[C]

[C]

[A]
You didn't really give us a choice...

[p]
What's up Clark. What happened? you look... different.

[C]
I bet you guys haven't seen THIS before!!

>Clark turns to a flower pot and throws it into the wall without touching it.
   Edit blood sprite to blue to look like water?

Ann and player are freaked out

[A]

[C]

Interact with your PC from start of game.

[A]
Let me look into it, I follow some occult accounts

[p]
... Why?

[A]
I mean, there's something cool about it, right?

[A]
Well, it WAS cool... before learning it's all real.

[p]
Yeah, I can turn lights off/on really easily. Not that cool T.B.H.

[A]
Goddd you're so not serious.

[p]
smile

[A]
Okay, I looked up " best cleansing demons method reddit"

[p]
I thought you had some occult connections or resources??

[A]
Here, I'm printing out the list of things we'll need.

>Obtain KEY ITEM list (CRUMPING PAPER Sound Effect by LIECIO from Pixabay)

   \Present these items to the demon:
    Umbrella (found on beach)
    Headlight fluid (headlight siphon)
    3 pounds of sand (bucket)
    Slice of za (home fridge for stale za/store for fresh za)
    Game that will never get a remake (store for large price)
    A 50 dollar bill (ATM if at least 50 dollars held)
                                                [Page 1/2]

A trinket you hold dear [save for page 2]
[A]
Okay, this doesnt seem too bad...?

[p]
A trinket...? that's not very specific.

[p]
With an item like "A 50 dollar bill" you'd think the demon its self wrote this!

[A]
Let's try and get some sleep get started first thing tomorrow!

[p]
Finally. Some good news.

>Fade to black. Transition screen? Morning

=Player House=
>Wake up in own house, gets out of bed due to EARTHQUAKE

>you can find save point, and frozen za in freezer.(optional)

Save Point is XXXXXX

Attempting to leave, prompts player to say "I should go to Ann's house to meet up"
>Walk out of house and come out into BIG CITY street. no front yard map needed, maybe a transition?

Walking to the end of An's street prompts her to come out and greet you.

[p]
Good morning! I was just about to come by your house!

[A]
you felt that too, right?

[p]
Okay, so i'm not crazy.

[p]
I was sorta hoping last night was all some twisted nightmare

[A]
I'm just glad im not alone

[p]
I just have a feeling this will work, don't worry. Smile!

[A]
Thank you...

[p]
woah. look at the city...!

pan around ruined city map?

>Player is free to visit work, Store, Beach, Home.
Attempting to visit Carls house results in the player saying 
"I should have every item on this list before going back there..."

       >Umbrella
        found at the beach as a pickup, really obvious.
       >Headlight fluid
        boss' car will be the only car on the map, will be parked at work.
        fluid extractor will be on sale at store
       >3 pounds of sand
        buy a bucket from store before beach interact shine will appear
       >cup noodle
        found in home fridge or bought at store
       >50 dollar bill
        ATM found in store, player will just have 50 bucks sitting in their account for this item

attempting to go to chaz house-

Phone call from Chaz

[C] unrecognizable
I'LL SHOW YOU...

*click*

Ann gets a phone call

[C]
I'M SORRY...

*click*

[A]
God that is so creepy. It didn't even sound like him...

[p]
At least he appologized to you!!

[A]
can i have a hug till the shaking stops?

[p]
Oh, I guess so.

[A]
Thank you

[p]
Smile

[p]
Come on. We can't pretend it's over yet. We gotta push through.

[A]
*sniffle* Okay.

=Chaz Yard=
Player is greeted with a gross flesh growths all over the building
no dialog mentioning it. or acknologing it

doors will tell you to confront chaz

entering chaz room shows you a grotesque amalgamation with chaz' face in it

[p]
Chaz...? buddy?

up 2 left 1 up 3 right 1

Chaz has no response

[p]
Please God wake me up from this fucked up dream... Chaz...

[p]
no..... *sob*

[A]
The list.

[p]
...?

[A]
Dont cry. we can't pretend it's over yet. Give me the list.

[p]
right...

>hand the list over

[A]
No... why-!? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING??!

[p]
*sobbing* what did i do...??!?

[A]
*cringles page with anger*

[A]
This is only page ONE. Of TWO. I swear I clicked "All pages" double-sided print...

[p] 
oh my god... that option doesn't fucking work on our printer!!

[p]
Fuck!!!!!!!!

>you get a phone call

[C] sounding normal
Heyy bro! What's wrong?

[p]
CHAZ....! What- how?

[p]
HA HA HA HA I DONT BELIEVE IT...

[p]
WHY DID I GIVE UP SO EARLY?!

[C]
Um...? You good bro? you're freaking me out tbh.

[p]
Chaz, buddy. I love you. I thought you were gone...

[p]
Listen, we wanted to help clean up your house.

[p]
but... we only have half of the instructions! I cant look up what else we need...

[C]
Bro, if you needed to look up something, you shoulda just asked! You can use my PC.

[p]
Oh.. RIGHT! Thank you Chaz... thank you thank you thank you

[p]
Im so glad you're alri-

*Click*

[p]
?

[A]
That's probably in the living room, right? Let's get out of this creepy ass room. PLEASE.

=chaz staircase=

wrong door = takes a peak "nope. not this room. this looks like X"

=Living room=

>interacting with the PC causes a battle to the corrupted trap of a PC

battle will be easy, unable to lose.

after winning, the PC does one final desperation attack and explodes a wave of energy,
launching both you and Ann back against the wall.
Unfortunately for Ann theres a sharp object on the wall and is fatally pierced.

you run over

[p]
ANNE!!!!!!!!!!!

[A]
The PC... hurry...

[p]
Shit...!

interacting with the PC you remember what she used to search the first time.

You find page two and read them out for Anne, making sure she's still included in this quest.

something catches your eye.. "trinket you hold dear"

[p]
Trinket you hold dear...?

[p]
THAT'S SO VAGUE!!! WHAT DOES IT WANT FROM ME!?

[A]
p-player......

[p]
Anne?? do you know what this could mean?

[A]
*hands you a familiar keychain*

[p]
what...? y-you kept this silly ol thing?

[A]
.......

[p]
Anne SPEAK TO ME

[A]
.......

[p]
PLEASE.

[p]
.......

[p]
im going to fucking save you, Chaz.

>you take a picture of the screen to remember the list

    Page 2
    Trinket you hold dear
      event item
    Kitchen knife
      Found in kitchen
    pill bottles
      bathroom
    Rope
      basement, you need a chair to reach it, it's hanging from up top
    present these at the room most foul

    Trinket you hold dear
    Gun
    Pill bottles
    knife
    

The full house is explorable with goopy creep atmosphere
inspecting objects is compartively less lively with ann gone.

attempting to go into the living room, the player cannot.

once all items are aquired, go back upstairs to chaz' room

=chaz room=

[p]
ALRIGHT, WITH THESE ITEMS. I BANISH YOU BACK TO WENCE YOU CAME!!

[p]
CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ!!!

a flash of light fills the screen

everything seems to be normal

[p]
Chaz.... you're... okay!?

[C]
not cool bro..

[p]
?

[C]
I finally get a taste of power... and you TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME.

[C]
SHE FINALLY SAW ME. SHE ANSWERED HER PHONE!!

[p]
You... you did this

[C]
DID WHAT?? Make you JEALOUS for once?

[p]
YOU KILLED ANNE!!

[C]
SHE'S DEAD!?

[C]
And you're saying that I-I...

[C]
You son of a bitch. I would NEVER hurt her

[C]
YOU ALWAYS GOT IN MY WAY. YOU MADE SURE IF I COULDNT HAVE HER...-

[p]
GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!!!!

[p]
THIS ISNT LIKE YOU!!

[C]
RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>boss fight begins

easy, fight but losing results in a bad end

=winning=

you strike the final blow

you drop your weapon

[p]
It was self defense....

[p]
thats all it was....

>player collapses

>black screen

>you wake up in your bed

credits roll while you are seen back at work, day is seemingly normal. scene ends with player visiting two graves.

=credits=


ALTERNATE END

you lost the battle

[C]
Why..... why didn't you fight back?

[p]
I... Love you

>fade to black

1 chance to lose 20$

Get unlockable maid outfit when every unique patron is taken care of. (parallel process)
(includes an item to switch back to normal clothes.) CHECK

A check for Maid outfit = on when talking to the saved patrons. CHECK

KNight1 gives different excuses for why wife couldnt show up in each dialog choice during bar intro.
Knight1 Reveals he never had a wife, lied for seemingly no reason.

Cafe job says "cafe isnt busy right now." and cant work if gold
is below work PC cap. try to cap gold to about 3K because i want
about 3 rng bar events tops before you're forced to take a break

make collecting cans the tier 3 job.

Add one more area left of beach, connecting to work connector on other side.

Add sidequest items in shop

get couple a few condoms/bigger condom

get cool dude a dog
player can break the fourth wall a bit and say that getting pets as gifts is a bad idea.

add pickupable rycyclable shit, can dispose of in big city recycle bin.

these pickups will be part of the investigate level 3 rewards when inspecting items.

(not instant cash, have to go redeem them at central location)
attempting to use recycle with no trash = message saying "I have no trash"

raise shop prices to accomodate new income sources?

vending machine in shop gives you trash, you pay 10 dollars, recycling gives 25

park area before beach. will have couple sitting on bench, kids on swing. 
across the road graveyard where ending shot takes place.

check 1 for shop activiates when saying yes to quest. item in store is called "sausage wrapper"

quinn: what? that's all they had!

Mike: I need... something bigger. can you go check again?

quinn: I highly doubt-

Sasha: Please?

quinn: sigh.... okay, yeah. sure.

Check 2 for shop activates, check 1 deactivates. New item in store Large sock
(useful for a second foot, or a third leg!)

buy it, bring it over, "Wow this is exactly what we needed! Thank you. We'll never forget you."

"can you watch the kids for us?"

quinn: WHAT!??

"I don't know when we'll be back, this looks reusable..."

quinn: Cindy, we're leaving...

Cindy: The kids all alone??

quinn: You cant be serious......

Cindy: I'd feel horrible if something happened! They called us trustworthy! remember...!!

quinn: Okay... fine. You win.

quinn: Sorry Ash, you'll have to wait a bit longer.

mike and sasha come back

Mike: Whoooo!!!! yeah. I feel refreshed. Like i could just sit and watch the kids allll day!

Sasha: I can barely walk... so sitting down doesn't seem so bad.

Cindy: I'm going to puke...

Mike: Here, for the trouble >300$

quinn: thanks...
