Pachinko is Life

The Pachinko Royale transpacific cruise liner departed San Francisco for Tokyo late in the season. In the second month of the charter a raging tempest blotted out all light except that of the lightening. The crew begged everyone to evacuate, but the guests chose to go down with their favorite pachinko machine.

James, Hawaiian shirt over Steeler's jersey clad America; Kenjii, a geriatric Japanese matriarch; Honza, a mysterious tracksuited tweeker from eastern Europe; and you, the player were fighting over their favorite machine when the storm struck. Together they lifted Lost at Sea, as much food as they could scoop from the buffet, and as many Pachinko as they could carry into a life raft.

As one of four survivors left adrift at sea with no hope of rescue you must make decisions to delay the inevitable slide into cannibalism, death, and worst of all, the loss of pachinko. Will you rise to the occasion to secure more supplies? Will you encourage your hapless comrades to take on the risk? Or will you play it safe, do nothing, and let the balls fall?

A game about the comic-absurd chaos of life before death.
