About This Game

A pawnshop, a debt and a man called Mr. Grin

Your late uncle left you his pawnshop. He also left you his debt. Every five days Mr. Grin, a loan shark with a very wide smile, comes to collect. Come up short and he takes all your cash and a finger. The third time, he takes your heart.

Build a money machine out of junk

Every morning, customers bring something to sell: a pearl, a radio, a haunted doll, a monkey's paw. Buy one, then arrange your shelf. At closing time every item pays out, and the eight items around it change what it pays. A Mirror copies its left neighbour, Duct Tape protects everything it touches, a Chainsaw smashes the neighbours. Find the combos and watch a shelf of junk turn into a money machine.

• 150 items across 7 kinds of stock: jewels, tech, antiques, junk, music, tools, and cursed goods that pay a lot and hurt you.
  
• Merge duplicates into Mint, Museum Piece, Legendary and Mythic editions.
  
• Things happen at night: items smash, melt, grow, spawn and transform.
  
• Every item shows what it will pay tonight before you close, so every move is a real decision.

Strange visitors

Once a week someone comes in before opening: a widow with an estate sale, a crooked cop who wants a bribe, Mr. Grin's goon asking for a "tip", a TV crew, your uncle's ghost, a stray cat. Each deal has a price. And now and then a customer is not quite what they seem: a cat burglar, an alien in disguise, a mummy, a raccoon in a trench coat.

Pay it off, then keep going

• Eight uncles, eight shops: each starts with different stock and a perk that changes how you play.
  
• Five debt levels, each with a harder rule, and eight challenge runs with one twisted rule each.
  
• Unlock 55 more items through milestones and fill your ledger.
  
• Clear the debt and keep going in endless mode, where merges climb without limit.
  
• A run takes about 20 to 25 minutes and saves every morning.
  
• Play with mouse, keyboard or controller.
