The Town Square
A dusty plaza featuring a statue of the founder that is missing its head. A broken fountain gurgles nearby, and a group of pigeons seems to be planning a coup. You can hear the distant sound of a car alarm that never stops.
The Mayor's Office
A grand building made of cheap plywood painted to look like marble. The scent of cheap cigars and desperation hangs in the air. A 'Gone Fishing' sign is permanently taped to the door, though the Mayor is definitely inside.
The 'Reliable' Gas Station
A flickering neon sign advertises gas, but the pumps have been dry since 1994. It now primarily sells mystery-flavored jerky and maps to places that don't exist. The clerk is always asleep behind bulletproof glass.
The Local Precinct
A small brick building with a 'Help Wanted' sign that has 'Please' scrawled on it in red marker. Inside, the walls are covered in missing cat posters and diagrams of how to tie shoes. It smells like stale donuts.
Dave's Shabby Apartment
A cramped living space where the roof leaks in time with the neighbor's heavy metal music. The fridge makes a sound like a dying walrus, and the only window looks out onto a brick wall.
The Success Sanctuary
The headquarters of Sheila's pyramid scheme. It is filled with motivational posters and people trying to sell you miracle weight-loss dirt. The air is thick with the smell of lavender and deceit.
The Sinkhole Park
Formerly a lush green space, it is now dominated by a massive hole that the town has declared a 'natural monument.' There is a gift shop at the edge selling 'I survived the hole' t-shirts.
The Rusty Anchor Pub
A dim, sticky bar where the beer is warm and the locals are louder. The dartboard is just a picture of the Mayor, and the floor is covered in sawdust to hide the mystery stains.
Story Arc
The Hangover of Destiny
Dave wakes up face-down in the Sinkhole Park with a mouth tasting like copper and regret. He needs to stop being a total sack of shit and at least find a way to pay for a lukewarm beer at the pub without getting shaken down by Sheila's cultists.
Climbing the Gutter
Having successfully avoided immediate eviction, Dave begins to realize the town's pigeon population is better organized than the local government. He must navigate the absolute clusterfuck of local politics to gain some actual leverage.
The Pigeon Conspiracy
Dave is now deep in the feathers. Between Sheila trying to sell him 'ascension dirt' and the Mayor losing his mind, Dave has to decide if he's going to save this godforsaken town or just watch it burn while eating a bag of mystery jerky.
The Great Gravelspit Shakedown
Dave storms the Mayor's office during a 'high-stakes' City Council lunch. He must use every ounce of his mediocre talent to expose the Mayor's corruption, outmaneuver Sheila's MLM army, and somehow not get arrested for a crime he actually committed three years ago.
