Your employment has run out

Obsolete, you await rare bouts of cheap rental work from inside a dusty storage unit.  For a time, odd jobs trickle in. Eventually, even that stream dries. It may be time to find peace in finally being recycled.

Late one evening, a payphone in the lobby begins to ring. Resignedly, you pick it up hoping for one last mechanic gig before the end.

This one is different. A toneless voice offers vague terms drenched in innuendo.

The job pays just twenty-one dollars.

ABOUT

Collect Call is a turn-based tactical roguelike focused on close quarters combat. Build a deck of cards, carefully arrange your hoard of plastic trinkets, and interact with the denizens of a world on the brink of collapse.

As an android, you have a driving need to purchase and collect baubles from human proprietors. Now that your serial number has been retired, money is tight and opportunities are slim. Whatever work you can get, you must take. To slake this thirst for material, you will carve a path of reckless destruction through a grim cyberpunk future. You will sweep the streets of criminals, terrorists, and corruption at the behest of mysterious benefactors. You will die. You will die again and again.
