Re:collect
In a postwar world where even memories can be used as collateral, you become the owner of a small pawnshop. Speak with customers, judge the value of their memories and belongings, and over 30 days of running the shop, uncover forgotten truths and the story of the protagonist.
Someone Comes to Entrust a Memory Again Today
Beyond the counter of a small pawnshop, a different customer walks in every day.
Some are in a hurry, some are cautious, and some say strangely little.
What they leave behind is one old object, and a hazy memory tied to it.
Listen, Doubt, and Ask Again
Conversations with customers are not fixed question-and-answer exchanges. LLM-based NPCs respond with their own personalities, circumstances, and moods.
Look for clues in what the customers say.
You must figure out why they want to pawn the item, how clear their memory is, and whether there is anything they are not telling you.
But if you dig too deeply, the customer may grow uncomfortable. If you trust them too easily, you may end up offering the wrong price.
Value Is Not Only What You Can See
Use the magnifying glass to examine an item’s scratches and materials, and use the appraisal device to organize information that affects its price.
Or use the memory tuner to increase the value of a memory.
Sometimes customers may be mistaken, and sometimes they may be lying on purpose. To get close to the true value, you will need to use both your tools and your conversations.
Between a Good Deal and a Risky One
Offer too low a price, and the customer may walk out of the shop.
Offer too high a price, and your immediate profit may grow, but so will the chance that the item is never reclaimed.
Choose whether to make stable deals at fair prices, or take risks in pursuit of greater profit.
Even after a deal is made, the work is not over. Storage fees accumulate, and the condition of both items and memories gradually deteriorates. If you fail to manage what has been entrusted to you, your next deal will become even harder.
Buy Ingredients, Grow Them, and Brew Potions
The work does not end when the transaction is over.
Buy the ingredients you need from the shop, plant seeds, and grow them yourself. You may even obtain unexpected ingredients during deals.
Combine the ingredients you collect to brew potions. Potions can restore the quality of stored items or bring clarity back to fading memories.
Or perhaps they may be used to recover the protagonist’s forgotten memories.
Reputation Builds Quietly, and Falls Quietly
Satisfying transactions raise the shop’s reputation.
As your reputation improves, customers enter the shop in slightly better moods.
But if you upset a customer or reject deals carelessly, your reputation will fall.
Making money, or remaining a good shop.
For 30 days, you must find the balance between the two.
After 30 Days, What Will You Remember?
As you continue making deals, unusual objects begin to find their way into the shop.
These objects are not simple merchandise, but keys leading to forgotten stories.
Appraise customers’ memories, store their belongings, and protect the shop.
And over 30 days, follow the story of the protagonist as it gradually comes to light.
