6 itemsAbout the Game
Set up your own stall at the flea market, size up the junk people bring you, and don't let anyone pull one over on you — in Pubertator, you ARE that flinty market soul who knows the price of every rusty scrap of metal.
Customers come in all shapes — from a broke bum with three coins to his name to a collector willing to overpay for something rare. Haggle, talk the price up or down, and watch your rating — one botched negotiation and the customer storms off.
Key features:
Flea market economy: multiple rarity tiers of goods, buyers and sellers from a whole range of social classes — from the homeless to the collector
Real risk in the haggling mechanic — a failed attempt to talk down the price can cost you rating
A catalog packed with post-Soviet household items, each with its own ironic flavor text — from faceted glasses to Soviet-era curiosities
Lafa — a scrap-metal neighbor with a motorcycle, who'll trade you loot if you can survive riding his motorcycle past open manholes
Sonya — an antique dealer and streamer running spot 40, buying up whatever the flea market won't appraise
Full localization: Russian, Ukrainian, and English — with authentic surzhyk dialect in customer dialogue where it fits
No political correctness here — just cheapskate haggling, surzhyk slang, and the smell of rust.
