SALESMAN

You work as a salesperson for a small business, the kind of business that buys random items in bulk from God-knows-where and sells them for a profit. This month, however, you gave people a few too many good deals. Now you're 200 bucks under the profit baseline and your higher-ups are mad.

You spent 50 bucks on a random internet forum to hire a so-called (by you) official speaker, someone who will lie to your higher-ups for a few days to buy you more time. And maybe, if you're lucky, get them to help you out a bit.

To make up for the 250 you now owe, you hastily rendered the junk that you still have not sold deeply financially underwater, such that their total price is a bit more than 250, which is much, much higher than they are worth.

You now need to sell this overpriced rubbish to strangers at the mall as fast as possible. Good luck with that.

the graphics was supposed to emulate the mode7 look with as little effort as possible. you be the judge as to how well i did it
