Draconian Times

Resource Management Ad Absurdum

A man in a dragon mask is locked in a self-made prison of greed and consumption. His desire to collect and pile up gold coins serves as the only way for the player to interact and instigate him into action, as he will rush to collect any coin in sight. The house is also inhabited by a pack of living mechanical alarm clocks, that the man vigorously burns on his way to retrieve coins, as burnt clocks will drop new coins where they stood. The game is frequently disrupted by pop-up commercials that block portions of the screen, offering products in return for payment in coins. Bought products will manifest in the house and affect the course of the game in malevolent ways. The player is thus faced with a challenge, as he/she mustn't run out of coins on the one hand, while trying to avoid drowning in harassing commercials on the other hand. A single door seems to be the only way out, but opening it has a steep price tag, and what lies beyond it is anyone’s guess.
