Negotis
In this sci-fi, RPG adventure game you have to survive and thrive on an alien world where humans are in the minority. You find yourself immersed in a strange culture where everything is negotiated from the most trivial buy/sell transaction, to a complex relationship with a guild, to setting up a business and hiring employees.
Author's Note: This incomplete game was entered in the IntroComp 2005 so that I could get some feedback on how well a bargaining/trading game would be received by the IF community. Some of the reviews indicated interest in seeing the rest of the game, but the overall response was such that I decided to abandon the project. Play it if you like RPG games well enough to forgo a final conclusion.
Play time is about 45 minutes.
