About Pocket Beings
Seven tiny people live in a town in your pocket. They rob each other, start businesses, bill the room, declare enemies for no reason, run for office, print money and go to jail. Nobody is in charge. You are barely in charge. WHAT HAPPENS Every couple of seconds, somebody does something. A being with no money steals. A being with no friends starts giving coins away. A being with no title runs for office, and once it holds the Crown it starts printing money, which makes everything in town cost more. Somebody founds a gang. Somebody founds a book club. Somebody is exiled by vote and a stranger moves into the empty house. It all shows up in the town newspaper, one line at a time, in the yard where they wander about and bump into each other. MEDDLE Tap anyone to open their file: coins, business, faction, gang, heat, office, rank. Then ruin their day, or make it: - Give them 50 coins - Rob them and hand it to somebody else - Throw them in jail, no trial - Crown them - Exile them The town remembers. Gifts make friends. Robberies make grudges. THE BIG HAND (OPTIONAL, ONE-TIME) The game is free, and the whole town is yours to watch and meddle with. If you want to meddle harder, The Big Hand is a single one-time purchase that adds: - Pardon: spring anyone from jail and wipe their record - Frame: plant evidence, and they are wanted by morning - Deputise: pin the Sheriff's star on whoever you like - Rain 20: drop coins on every being in town - A faster hand: meddle every 2 seconds instead of 5 - Name your town No subscription. Buy it once and it is yours. If you bought Pocket Beings before it went free, you already have it. COME BACK LATER Close the app and the town keeps going. Open it again and the paper tells you what you missed: who took the Sheriff's seat, who lost everything on one bet, who got arrested. WHAT IT IS NOT No accounts. No sign-up. No adverts. No subscription. No internet connection. Nothing is collected about you. Free to play, with one optional one-time purchase. Every being is a made-up cartoon character. No real person, company, place or event appears in this game.
