Brooklyn Trash King

About

You’re a Brooklyn tech bro with a shaky Kickstarter pitch and zero street cred. This interactive fiction game drops you into a world where your only shot at funding is bowing to a giant rat king. Made in Twine, the gameplay is all choice-based dialogue and absurd negotiations. Your tech bro persona clashes with the seedy underbelly of the city as you beg for investment in your "fresh" app idea. The game’s deadpan humor and sharp satire of tech bro culture stand out. A 7.8/10 on the Interactive Fiction Database highlights its cult following. The rat king’s dialogue is a highlight, balancing menace and comedy. At just 30 minutes, it’s a brisk take on gentrification tropes and startup delusions. The Twine format keeps it simple but effective, letting the writing carry the experience.
