Our daily goal is usually to detect and block any scammers trying to fill our inbox with digital junk, but a new game called «cdROM.480p.hd_freeDownload» turns the tables on us.
It's a lost Monday in the middle of the 90s. You have $40 in your pocket. You need food, medicine for your grandmother, and most importantly: keep a roof over your head and pay the rent before the weekend. The numbers don't add up and the economic situation is terrible, but there's an opportunity in the form of a computer connected to the internet. There are many people out there with loves, hates, desires, and rejections that could be... exploited the right way, as long as you send a convincing message. Welcome to «cdROM.480p.hd_freeDownload».
Become the best scammer with «cdROM.480p.hd_freeDownload»
The game mechanics are very simple: each day you must choose a target. Read their description carefully, try to detect their preferences, fears, and paranoias, and prepare an email based on five pre-designed templates. The tricky part is that you can only use words available in a basic dictionary, so you'll have to be very creative in the composition... or simply roll the dice.
Depending on the impact of the email, you'll receive a sum of money. In some cases, the strategy is very simple: we have a woman who spent her friends' money on slot machines and is now drowning in debt, and a school principal who hates children and dreams of shooting from his truck. However, the rest are more complicated, including a crazy woman who spreads conspiracies, and the CEO of a large company who thinks he's untouchable.
As if that weren't enough, the game has different fates or reactions for everyone involved. At the end of the week, you're nothing but a scammer, and fixing your situation means ruining others'. The only thing left to say is that «cdROM.480p.hd_freeDownload» offers no mercy. If you make a mistake in constructing the email and don't get a substantial amount of bills per day, you'll end up on the street. Give it a try! The game is free on itch.io, and its creators accept donations.
