Scratch your Luck

You’re drowning in debt and every week the collectors demand more money than a normal job will ever pay. A mysterious man offers you a way out: scratch‑off tickets that might finally cover your bills… or drag you even deeper into the hole. Each run is one desperate week where you gamble, shop, and try to survive long enough to pay your quota.

During the night phase, you sit at your table and scratch cards line by line. Each line shows a cash value and a multiplier – maybe it’s 10 × 0, maybe it’s 500 × 5 – and the payout goes straight into your balance. All results are generated from a seed, so runs feel random but can be replayed or shared if you want to retry a lucky setup. When you’re done scratching, you open a small shop where you can buy more tickets, riskier cards with higher multipliers, or strange “totems” that tweak the odds in your favour.

Your goal each run is simple: survive the week. At the end of every week you either pay your debt quota in full and move on, or fail and end the run. As you progress, quotas rise, ticket payouts get swingier, and you’re constantly choosing between safe, low‑risk lines and high‑risk tickets that can either clear your debt in one click or leave you with nothing.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Run‑based debt survival – Play in week‑long runs where failing to meet your payment resets the run but not your knowledge of good strategies and shop paths.

• Scratch‑off core gameplay – Manually reveal ticket lines showing a cash value and a multiplier, then decide which lines to buy, scratch and cash in.

• Seed‑based RNG – Each run uses a seed so ticket results are random but fair; the same seed always generates the same tickets, letting you share or replay lucky runs.

• Shop and upgrades – Spend winnings on new tickets, more volatile cards with bigger multipliers, and totems that adjust multiplier ranges, dud rates, and other odds.

• Rising pressure over time – Weekly debt quotas increase as you succeed, forcing you into riskier choices and bigger bets the longer you stay alive.

• First‑person table gameplay – Walk around your small apartment, sit at the table to scratch tickets, and use an in‑world phone to access the shop instead of plain menus.
