quality dreams, reasonably priced [demo]
note: The WebGL build is a few updates out of date! It will be updated as soon as I figure out an easy way to do so without breaking parts of the game (as happened last time).

In Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced, you play as Jin, a sales consultant at a body modification clinic. And you work on commission. Your pet rabbit is sick, and you have two weeks to save up enough funds to afford the life-saving treatment it needs.
At work, clients arrive with desired procedures. Your job is to get to know them and determine whether you recommend they go forward with it. Each client is a puzzle and you must figure out which approach is best if you want them to open up to you.
Learn about your clients, co-workers, and personal struggles as you try to balance earning enough to afford your pet's treatment with not taking advantage of your clients' trust. At its heart, this is a game about talking to people.

I REALLY enjoyed this game ^^ The overall premise is so unique and intriguing—I think this is the first time I’ve come across a story involving selling mods, and the worldbuilding around them is incredibly creative. Honestly, I kind of wish I could get one for myself now, haha!
The art design is stunning, and the way the sprites are positioned is so visually satisfying. I also love the variety of characters and their backstories; each one feels distinct and adds so much depth to the experience.
As for the choices, I especially enjoyed the back-and-forth when communicating with customers and asking about procedures. It felt super immersive—like I was actually doing it in real life—which made it all the more fun!
Also, BAAAAAROOOON!! I’m so intrigued by him—I really want to learn more! He seems like such a fascinating character. And Ocean?? Absolute cutie! <333 I love them both so much!
hello! I saw your email and I promise I'm not ignoring you. When it comes to games I can't window, they don't work well on my computer. is there a way to window the game?
Hi! Thank you so much for getting back to us! :)
We don't currently support a windowed mode, but I'll look into releasing a small update that includes the option. Hopefully I can have it available later today!
The game's been updated! Just choose settings on the start menu (or, after you've started the game, hit pause on the textbox or press the escape key and then choose "settings") and un-check the "full screen" toggle.
Please let me know if it doesn't work!
omg thank you! you guys are awesome!!! xoxo
no worries!! we did find few small bugs with the current version after the update, so we'll be putting out another one later today, but the windowed option should fully work right now!
this is super cool! honestly the sadness of it is getting to me in a good way, there's so much life in the characters hopes.
