Game: Alien Pawn Shop-Interactive Bargaining Game

Example

A player submits an image of a seemingly ordinary coffee mug. The boss, with their sharp wit, might roast the item by commenting on its unremarkable appearance while comparing it to the extravagant drinking vessels of Zorblatt 9, where beverages float into one's mouth. The challenge for the player is to convince the boss of the mug's unique value through creative storytelling.

Scenario

This function is applied when players submit items for evaluation, turning the process into an entertaining roast that adds humor and depth to the negotiation.

Example

In the midst of bargaining over a vintage Earth record player, the boss might launch into a story about the time they DJ'ed a party for intergalactic royalty with a similar device. The player must then weave this tale into their negotiation, perhaps claiming the player was specially made for that royal family, to justify the $3.50 price.

Scenario

This function showcases the game's emphasis on creativity and storytelling, where the negotiation becomes a shared narrative adventure between the player and the boss.

Example

Seeking a second opinion on a peculiar alien artifact, the boss consults one of their 'expert' contacts. This character, generated with whimsical and bizarre detail, might offer a hilariously inept analysis, further complicating the negotiation but enriching the game's lore.

Scenario

Used when the value or nature of an item is in question, this function adds layers of humor and unpredictability to the gameplay, encouraging players to adapt their strategies.
