"Life gives people one chance—if they're lucky. This is yours."

An illegal solution to overwhelming debts leads to danger, deception, revenge and murder.

It's an evolving work that may evolve into future commercial applications. It's developed by People + Places - an enterprise that presents stories and content from around the world."

A sprawling multi-platform tale about crime and love in North Dakota, April 8, 2018

by MathBrush
Related reviews: 2-10 hours

This is a very large game/story, comprising 3 Twine stories, 1 inklewriter story, 1 Instagram album, and three wordpress blog entries.

Reading quickly, even skimming from time to time, it took around 3 hours to finish.

The story is compelling: an unemployed woman gets a business opportunity from her brother that's too good to be true.

It's gritty and dark. It's full of profanity, which I filtered on my computer. It's also completely believable.

I'm giving it 4 stars because the fifth star is for "would I play it again?" and while it was very compelling, I felt mildly traumatized by the time I was done.
