Beep Beep Beep
That's what you'll hear all day after playing Need a packet - horror-simulator about supermarket cashier, who is gradually losing her mind because of everyday routine work. She starts to feel that the cash register is turning into a medieval tower, while dragons and chimeras are flying around and trying to kill Molly. Events take place on the background of a garbage crisis in the city. Grounds are rotting, recycling factories are overcrowded, water is poisoned and citizens start to disappear in the local forests.
"Need a packet?" is divided into three scenes:
Mollies house
This is a safe place, you can restore your health and play with items in the house.
Way to work
This part is divided into three frames. In the first two we read news, watch streams and buy products for our appartment. The third frame is a bullet hell segment where the control of the minibus passes to the player to dodge cars, ships and huge garbage bosses.
Work
This is where the main gameplay will take place. A client approaches a cash register and player need to register his/her products and take money. Gradually the mechanics becomes more complicated - there are products that need to be weighed with manually code input, the mechanics of the return and change.
