About the Game

BLACKRAST is a 2D real-life simulator. You arrive in a small town with empty pockets and one goal: build a life worth living.

🏙 LIVE YOUR DAY
A real day/night cycle, weather, hunger and energy. Sleep, cook, shop and keep yourself on your feet. Every choice costs time and money.

💼 EARN YOUR WAY
Work café shifts, deliver packages, drive a taxi. Buy a bike to move faster. Pay your rent every week — or feel the consequences.

🎮 OWN THE GAMING CAFÉ
The heart of the game: buy the local gaming café, add PCs, set hourly prices, hire a cashier and grow your reputation. Watch real customers fill your café. Win the weekly Snake tournament to boost your fame.

🕹 ARCADE INSIDE THE GAME
Playable Snake and Reflex machines with real rewards, records and achievements.

📱 SMARTPHONE
Bank with daily interest, quests, achievements, courier and taxi jobs — all in your in-game phone.

🌐 PLAY WITH FRIENDS
Shared online town: see each other, chat, use emotes, and check who's online.

📈 PROGRESS THAT STICKS
20 quests, 20 achievements, a skill system (Intellect, Endurance, Charisma), levels and three save slots.
