About

Salvatore has been tasked with fetching a carton of milk for his colleague/superior/peer-with-an-ambiguous-level-of-authority-over-him. Now he must embark on a short, mildly annoying journey halfway across the coast to the decidedly-not-local grocery store to obtain it. Will he return, or will he disappear without a trace for multiple decades? (A: Most likely the former)

PB: SGttStBSM features:

  • ELEVEN incredibly SMALL ROOMS to explore
  • A DOZEN OR SO NPCs to begrudgingly talk with
  • SIX music tracks composed by THE GUY WHO MADE THIS (And one track that wasn't)
  • FIVE WHOLE DUMPSTERS to dive into
  • A STORE, and SOME MILK (I would never lie to you)

'Pawn Beach' is a concept that began to develop when a stupid workplace comedy premise suddenly came up in my head:

"What if, a pawn shop... but you can pledge anything that exists?"

This later spiralled into myself (and a couple people I know) making up hypothetical characters that would work in this hypothetical shop and silly 'episode' ideas for this hypothetical show. Eventually, at least for me, it all culminated in a genuine attachment to the concept and characters, and a desire to make them into something tangible. This short game is effectively a dumping ground for a few of these ideas, as well as a way to experiment with the cast and world and how they might function in a real piece of media.
Also there's this whole thing where the non-Sal characters are actually from a "dream world" that somehow leaked out into 'our' world and represent dreams that human beings have had previously, but while the game references that, it doesn't give any real explanation as to how it works so if you're going in expecting some context, you'll probably be disappointed. Sorry about that
