A Small Favor

About

A Small Favor casts you as an assassin navigating a galaxy where debts are settled with favors instead of money. Point and click through environments solving puzzles while choosing how to approach your target a Senator with secrets. Your actions shape your reputation tier by tier but optional side tasks called favors don't count toward your rank even if you do them out of kindness. Dialogue and stealth options let you play silently or stir up trouble though either path leaves lasting consequences. The game stands out for its branching choice system where morality and efficiency clash. While the 2009 browser release feels a bit dated its narrative twists earned a 78% on Metacritic for smart writing. A 2013 Kickstarter aimed to bring it to PC but fell short leaving fans with the original web version. The galaxy’s trade-based economy adds a fresh layer to the genre making each decision feel like a real negotiation between duty and personal ethics.
